Al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj (the Night Journey and Ascension) is an event that took place at night in 621 AD, between the eleventh and twelfth year of the Prophet's mission. It is considered by Muslims to be one of the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad and a prominent event in the history of the Islamic call. Muslims believe that God sent his Prophet Muhammad on the Buraq with Gabriel at night from the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) in Mecca to the Farthest Mosque (Al-Aqsa Mosque) in Jerusalem. It was a journey that the Quraysh tribe ridiculed, to the extent that some clapped and whistled in mockery. However, the Prophet Muhammad insisted on its authenticity and stated that he then ascended from Jerusalem on a celestial journey with Gabriel on a creature called the Buraq. In Islamic terms, he ascended to the highest heavens at Sidrat al-Muntaha—the farthest point reachable in the heavens—and returned on the same night. The Surah Al-Isra was named after the event, opening with the verse: "Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing."
