Abstract
Abstract: The issue of the Mi'raj is one of the miracles of Prophet Muhammad and is among the significant realities of the era of revelation addressed in the Holy Quran. The main focus of this research is to analyze and critique three Orientalist denial claims (fabrication, mythologization, and Adaptation) regarding the Mi'raj of the Prophet. This research aims to defend the divine sanctuary of the Quran by utilizing a descriptive-analytical method and referencing scientific sources. It seeks to answer the fundamental question: what have been the denial approaches of Orientalists regarding the Mi'raj, and what critiques are there of these approaches? The results show that the Mi'raj is an indisputable historical fact, and the theories of Orientalists like Gustave Le Bon, Karl D. Vo, Abdul Fadi, and Michael Sells regarding it are not based on substantial and logical evidence and contradict Quranic, narrative, and historical evidence. Their denial stems from superficiality, lack of accurate knowledge of interpretative and theological sources, or unscientific and antagonistic motives.
