Answer:

Buraak and Aladdin stories

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your question: my question is that is the flying horse was there if yes then at the in the day of the judgement it will be there are what ?

The Messenger of Allah (saws) indeed described his vehicle as a flying animal (mule/donkey), which Allah Subhanah arranged for him, to travel from Makkah to Medina and onwards to Jerusalem on the night of Israa. This travel vehicle of the Prophets is called Al-Buraq.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.227 Narrated by Abbas bin Malik

Malik bin Sasaa said that the Messenger of Allah (saws) described to them his Night Journey saying, "While I was lying in Al-Hatim or Al-Hijr, suddenly someone came to me and cut my body open from here to here." I asked Al-Jarud who was by my side, "What does he mean?" He said, "It means from his throat to his pubic area," or said, "From the top of the chest." The Prophet (saws) further said, "He then took out my heart. Then a gold tray of Belief was brought to me, and my heart was washed and was filled (with Belief), and then returned to its original place. Then a white animal which was smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me." (On this Al-Jarud asked, "Was it the Buraq, O Abu Hamza?" I (i.e. Anas) replied in the affirmative). The Prophet (saws) said, "The animal's step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight. I was carried on it, and Gabriel set out with me, till we reached the nearest heaven.”

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.429 Narrated by Malik bin Sasaa

The Prophet (saws) said, "While I was at the (Sacred) House in a state midway between sleep and wakefulness, (an Angel recognized me) as the man lying between two men. A golden tray full of wisdom and belief was brought to me, and my body was cut open from the throat to the lower part of the abdomen, and then my abdomen was washed with Zam-zam water and (my heart was) filled with wisdom and belief. Al-Buraq, a white animal, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me and I set out with Gabriel.”

Nothing specific is mentioned in the Quran or Sunnah about what will happen to this specific animal, Al-Buraq, on the Day of Judgment. But according to the below aayah of the Holy Quran, Allah Subhanah will indeed gather every animal along with the human beings and the Jinns on an Inevitable Day.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anam verse 38: There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have We omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.

Your comment: my other question is that aladdin and other stuff is true.

We assume you are referring to the fictitious stories of ‘Alladin and the 40 Theives!’ These stories are nothing but fictions and the imaginations of some author, and have absolutely nothing to do with reality!

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
