Isra and Mi'raj (الإسراء والمعراج) , Lailatul Miraj ( Journey to Heaven)

The Isra and Mi'raj ( الإسراء والمعراج), are the two parts of a Night Journey to heaven that, the last Prophet Muhammad Sallallāhu alaihi wa sallam took during a single night around the year 621. During the month of Rajab, the Prophet Muhammad Sallallāhu alaihi wa sallam made a night -time trip to the city of Jerusalem (isra’), visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and from there was raised up into heaven (mi’raj). It is a physical and spiritual journey. A brief sketch of the story is in sura (chapter) 17 Al-Isra of the Qur'an, and other details come from the Hadith, supplemental writings about the life of Prophet Muhammad Sallallāhu alaihi wa sallam. In the journey, Prophet Muhammad Sallallāhu alaihi wa sallam travels on the steed Buraq to "the farthest mosque" where he leads other prophets in prayer. He then ascends to heaven where he speaks to Allah(One and Only God), who gives Muhammad instructions to take back to the faithful regarding the details of prayer. According to traditions, the Journey is associated with the Lailat al Miraj, as one of the most significant events in the Islamic calendar.
