7th sky which is called "Areeb" (At a place it is mentioned as Ajma' too and its White Pearl Coloured)
On reaching 7th sky, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) raised his head upward and saw cloud's thunder and lightening.
There Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) met and greeted Prophet Ibrahim(alayhi salam) who's hair was mixed black and white, reclining against the Bait-ul-Mamoor which is made of Ateeq (red diamond).
Then Angel Jabra'il had to stop as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went on to Sidrat al-Muntaha and drew close to it, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “At-tahiyyatu Lillahi wa’s-salawatu wa’t-tayyibat (All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah).”
Allah replied: “Al-salamu ‘alayka ayyuha’n-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-Allahi wa barakatuhu (Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings).”
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: “As-salamu ‘alayna wa ‘ala ‘ibad-Illah is-saliheen (Peace be upon us, and on the righteous slaves of Allah).”
Jibreel (peace be upon him) - or it was said: the angels who are close to Allah - said: “Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasoo-Allah (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).”
The Prophet peace be upon him, after seeing all the angels worship in all the Heavens requested, this nation be blessed with this ibadah. Allah combined all these positions in one rakah for this ummah, our salah is the combination of all the ibadah and positions of all the Angels in all the 7 Heavens and the tashahhud is the holy conversation between Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Allah during Miraj.
Thus salah is the Miraj for a believer, its our ascension, the devotee doesn't merely repeat the dialogue of the Messenger’s mi’raj, but has his own conversation with Allah.
