"Mikraj Cinta" (Ascension of Love) is a single by Malaysian artist, Siti Nurhaliza. It was released on 21 June 2015 as the lead single from her live album, Unplugged. Composed by Hafiz Hamidun and Fedtri Yahya, the song is included in the album as one of the bonus tracks. Originally a song by Hafiz for himself, it was given to Siti for her performance for "Sirah Rasullulah" (Life of the Messenger of God) in conjunction with Prophet Muhammad's mawlid on 3, 4 and 7 January 2015. The studio version of the song was later included to accompany the release of Unplugged.
Its music video, directed by Zuli and Aloi first premiered on HLive on Astro Ria on 10 July 2015 before being officially released on YouTube on 14 July 2015.
On December 18, 2016, "Mikraj Cinta" won the Best Nasyid Song category at the Anugerah Industri Muzik.
Prior to its official release as a single, it was first performed by Siti during the theater of "Sirah Rasullulah" (Life of the Messenger of God) in conjunction with Prophet Muhammad's mawlid on 3, 4 and 7 January 2015 at Istana Budaya. However, Hafiz Hamidun, one of the lyricists and the sole composer for this song first performed this song back on 24 May 2014 for "Konsert Mikraj Cinta" before deciding to give the song to Siti for her special performance for "Sirah Rasullulah". "Mikraj Cinta" later was officially recorded as a song on 18 May 2015 at Hafiz's own recording studio, Arteffects International. Inspired from the event of Isra and Mi'raj, a violinist from West Asia was hired to provide an original Arabic sound to the song.
A midtempo song, the music is inspired by Arabic music where a West Asian violinist was hired to provide a true Arabic sounding tune to the whole song composition. Composed by Hafiz Hamidun the lyrics to the song was provided by Hafiz and Fedtri Yahya. Described as an "Islamic spiritual" song, the song spans for four minutes and thirty seven seconds. Inspired from the story of Prophet Muhammad's journey during the event of Isra and Mi'raj, according to Siti, the song was later reworked so that it can also be translated as "universal love and going back to the one true God".
