Night Journey

Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem is the third holiest site in Islam, central to the Night Journey (Isra and Miraj) of Prophet Muhammad, and a symbol of Islamic heritage and Palestinian identity for over 1,300 years.

The miraculous night journey of Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem and his ascension through the heavens, one of the most significant spiritual events in Islamic history. This divine experience established the five daily prayers.

The Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, named in the Qur'an and described in the hadith as standing in the highest heaven, at the limit beyond which no created being passes. The Prophet Muhammad reached it during the Night Journey and Ascension.
