Al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj was the miraculous night journey and ascension to the heavens of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. During this journey, he ﷺ traveled from Mecca to Jerusalem and then ascended through the seven heavens, meeting various prophets along the way. According to the Ulama, this event occurred in the month of Rajab.
سُبْحَـٰنَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَسْرَىٰ بِعَبْدِهِۦ لَيْلًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْأَقْصَا ٱلَّذِى بَـٰرَكْنَا حَوْلَهُۥ لِنُرِيَهُۥ مِنْ ءَايَـٰتِنَآ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ ١Glory be to the One Who took His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose surroundings We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs.
Qur'an Surah Al Isra, 17:1
Al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj holds profound significance, as this divine miraculous journey reinforced the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ role as Allah's messenger and served as a source of comfort during times of hardship. It also established the five daily prayers (Salah) as a central pillar of Islamic practice, emphasizing the importance of regular worship and the direct relationship between believers and Allah ﷻ.
