The ascension to the heaven ( Mi'raj) was not just a spiritual experience but was a real physical journey as it is clear in Quran ( Glorious is He, Who took His servant in night journey from the Masjud Al-Haraam to al-Masjid Al-Aqsa) (Sura al-Isra', verse 1). It never says that Allah Has taken the spirit of His servant, but Taken His servant which means the full physical journey and never by is spirit only.
