QUESTION:

I have question about "Miraj"; Did Holy Prophet see God or speak to Him
on this occision and are there any prophets who had done so. 


ANSWER:

Our belief in Allah is such that nobody has ever seen nor will anybody
ever see Allah. Some Sunnis do believe that they will see Allah on the
Day of Judgement, but we believe otherwise. 

However, speaking to the Holy Prophet - Yes, according to the narrations
recorded about the whole incident of Me'raaj, Allah did talk to the Holy
Prophet (SAW). 

An interesting point here is that the various modes of revelation
recorded in History are either through Jibrael (as was for most of the
Prophets including our Prophet); or through dreams (as in the case of
Prophet Ibrahim); or by creating speech (as in the case of Prophet Musa);
or direct speech - that was priveleged only to our Holy Prophet - him
being the best of all Prophets.
