The Isra and Mi’raj
The Isra and Mi’raj (Arabic: الإسراء والمعراج, al-’Isrā’ wal-Mi‘rāğ), are the two parts of a Night Journey that, according to Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad – 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 incident [occasion] is in (chapter) 17 Al-Isra of the Qur’an,[2] and other details come from the Hadith, supplemental writings about the life of Muhammad – Peace be upon Him. In the journey, Muhammad travels on the Burraq [steed] to “the farthest Masjid-e-Aqsa where he leads other prophets in prayer.
He then ascends to heaven where he speaks to Allah, who gives Muhammad instructions to take back to the faithful on Earth about the 5 times to offer prayers each day.
Isra and Mi’raj - The Journey is associated with the Lailat al Miraj, as one of the most significant events in the Islamic calendar
