As salatu miraaj ul mumin
Question
Is this saying a Hadith: "As salatu miraaj ul mumin" that "salat is the miraaj of a mumin". Is this a mawdoo hadith or is it an actual Hadith of the Prophet saw. I've herd this saying many times and somone told me it was not a Hadith.
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The statement As-salatu Mirajul Mumin is not a hadith[1]. However, the meaning of the statement is generally supported by other references of the Quran and Hadith that salah is a means of communicating with Allah [2]
