Jibrail, betul?
Tak betul Sha
Let me ask again, did he ascend?
No, he did not. He plagiarized the story from the Persian:
The Arda Viraf Namag is a Collection of Parsi Legends and has a Story of a man named Arda Viraf:
Arda Viraf is chosen for his piety to undertake a journey to the next world in order to prove the truth of Zoroastrian beliefs, after a period when the land of Iran had been troubled by the presence of confused and alien religions. He drinks wine and a hallucinogen, after which his soul travels to the next world where it is greeted by a beautiful woman named Den who represents his faith and virtue. Crossing the Chinvat Bridge, he is then conducted by Srosh, the pious and Adar, “the angel” through the “star track”, “moon track” and “sun track” – places outside of heaven reserved for the virtuous who have nevertheless failed to conform to Zoroastrian rules. In heaven, Viraf meets Ahura mazda who shows him the souls of the blessed (ahlav). Each person is described living an idealised version of the life he or she lived on earth, as a warrior, agriculturalist, shepherd or other profession. With his guides he then descends into hell to be shown the sufferings of the wicked. Having completed his visionary journey Viraf is told by Ahura Mazda that the Zoroastrian faith is the only proper and true way of life and that it should be preserved in both prosperity and adversity.
So if I can say this; basically Islam is a concoction of various traditions in the region,
That is right Sha.
Oh well, to their's is their religion to mine is my religion.
Que Sera, Sera Sha.
