Prof. Machasin states that the Prophet Muhammad SAW witnessed many things during the Isra Mi’raj. One of the things explained in the Prophet’s hadeeths concerns Paradise and Hell. In Hell, the Prophet saw a person who cut off his tongue continuously even after it grew back. The said person was described as someone who always lied in his lifetime. This story set a reminder for people not to tell lies, as explained by Prof. Machasin. He also reminded the importance of telling the truth, not spreading lies or false news, and constantly verifying the received information.

“There are a lot of people nowadays who will immediately believe information received, and they don’t look deeper or try to find out the truth. Even if the information may not be correct,” said Prof. Machasin.

The Professor of Islamic Cultural History at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University (UIN) Yogyakarta also explained the relevance of Isra Mi’raj’s events to the story of Bani Israel. He said that the Bani Israel had made two mischiefs, and Allah SWT had repaid them by sending another group. It is written in the Surah Al-Isra of the Qur’an, where the Surah also told about the Prophet Muhammad Isra Miraj. The experience of the Bani Israel, according to Prof. Machasin, should be a reminder that there will always be something in return.

The Professor who served as the Director-General of Islamic Community Development of the Ministry of Religion in 2014-2016 emphasizes that negligence or destruction done by humans will cause disaster as a consequence. Such a disaster would undermine the order of human life. “The law of cause and effect has been proven. Damage to the Earth will cause instability in the order of life and bring disaster to humanity, both physical and nonphysical. This fact needs to be realized by people who are entrusted as leaders because their negligence can damage the earth’s order,” he explained.

At the end of the lecture, Prof. Machasin invites participants to always pay attention to the signs given by God. These signs need to be learned to improve the quality of life in this world by adhering to strong religious teachings. “In this life, there are signs of God that we must know, understand, and use to improve our life. This Isra Mi’raj event strengthens the relationship between God and man,” he concluded.
