Explanation

Al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj is also known as the Night Journey.

It refers to the Prophet Muhammad's (SAW) journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then to heaven, where he met with previous prophets and received revelations from Allah (God).

The Night Journey is believed to have taken place in 621 CE, during the Prophet's lifetime.

The terms Al-Isra' and Al-Mi'raj are often used together to describe the entire event, which consists of two parts:

• Al-Isra' (الاسراء): The journey from Mecca to Jerusalem, where the Prophet prayed at the Temple Mount.
• Al-Mi'raj (المعراج): The ascension to heaven, where the Prophet met with previous prophets and received revelations.
