Al-Isra wa'lMi'raj: : An Account of the Miraculous Night Journey of our Beloved Prophet (saw)

The Isra & Mi'raj refers to the night when the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was taken on a miraculous journey by Allah Almighty. Most scholars agree that this night fell on the twenty-seventh of the month of Rajab, one year before the migration of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from Makka to Madina.

The word Isra means to travel by night. This indicates the Prophet's, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, journey from Makka to al-Masjid al-Aqsa in Jeruslaem. Mi'raj means 'the means of ascending.' This word is used to describe the upward journey from Jerusalem to the Heavens and beyond
