“Glory be to Him Who took His servant (the Prophet Muhammad) one night from Masjid-al-Haram (in Mecca) to Masjid-al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem), whose vicinity We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs.” (“Masjid” is the Arabic word for “mosque.”) The Holy Quran, 17:1
NOTE: Muslims worldwide mark “Isra and Miraj,” the Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem, and from the rock now located in the Dome of the Rock, to heaven.
