Title: Al-Miraj
Description: The Isra and Miraj are the two parts of a Night Journey that, according to tradition, the Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) took during a single night around the year 621. It has been described as both a physical and spiritual journey.A brief sketch of the story is in Sura Al-Isra also called Isreal,17th sura of the Qur'an,and other details come from the Hadith, supplemental writings about the life of Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him). In the journey,Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) travels on the Buraq to "The farthest mosque" where he leads other prophets in prayer. He then ascends to heaven where he speaks to ALLAH, who gives Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) instructions to take back to the faithful on Earth about the number of times to offer prayers each day.
The Journey is associated with the Lailat Al-Miraj, one of the most significant events in the Islamic calendar.
