According to the Holy Quran

While he was in the highest part of the horizon: Then he approached and came closer, And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer; So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey. The (Prophet’s) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw. Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw? For indeed he saw him at a second descent. Near the Lote-tree beyond which non may pass: near it is the Garden of Abode. Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (in mystery unspeakable!) (His) sight never swerved nor did it go wrong! For truly did he see of the Signs of His Lord the Greatest.” (53:7-18)

The Holy Quran  (53:7-18)

The historical event took place on the 27^th day of Islamic Month of Rajab. According to Hadith, Angel Gabriel was played the role of guide of this journey of our Prophet. But the most astonishingly he (Gabriel) stated to the prophet that, not even any angel could visit that close to Allah where Allah invited him (Prophet PUBH) to visit.

Apart from all these events, on that night our Prophet bring many Ibadah as a gift for his Ummah such as, five times daily prayer, Fasting in the month of Ramadan. As of the observation of this night, Muslims go to mosque for prayer and there Islamic scholars describes the story of this night and also about the miraculous life of Muhammad PUBH.

What is Isra and Miraj

Isra and Miraj are the terms used in the holy Quran to mention the miraculous night of Meraj. These two terms is described separately in Hadith also to describe the journey of that night. Isra was mentioned as the journey of Mecca to Jerusalem, where he perform some Salah and then started his journey to the “Throne of Allah” known as Miraj. This night is also known as Lailat Al Miraj

The word Isra is an Arabic word to describe the first part of the journey on the night of Miraj. On that night Rasul PUBH was started his journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and went to the famous Mosque name Al-Aqsa, which is mention in Surah Al-Isra in the Quran. From there the main journey of that night was started with angel Gabriel and Boraq (the animal on which the prophet PUBH visited to Jannah).

Miraj also is an Arabic word used to describe the journey of the Prophet PUBH from Jerusalem to the Heaven on that night. The meaning of Miraj is Ascension (Spiritual Form of Prophet PUBH). The exact year couldn’t be found but according the research of many Islamic scholars has authenticated that, it was only mentioned in the hadith that the event happened just one year before Hijrah.
