Jibril brought me a vessel of wine and a vessel of milk, and I chose the milk. Then I entered and prayed two Rakahs there, and came out. I rode on it and it took me to Bayt Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), where I tethered it at the hitching post of the Prophets. One stride of this creature covered a distance as far as it could see. “Al-Buraq was brought to me, and it was a white animal bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. Imam Ahmad reported from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.”means, He hears all the words of His servants, believers and disbelievers, faithful and infidel, and He sees them and gives each of them what he deserves in this world and the Hereafter. As Allah says: “Indeed he did see of the greatest signs, of his Lord (Allah).” (53:18) We will mention below what was narrated in the Sunnah concerning this. “the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed” means, its agricultural produce and fruits are blessed “in order that We might show him”, i.e., Muhammad “of Our Ayat.” i.e., great signs. This indicates that he is the greatest leader of all, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and upon them. The Prophets all gathered there, and he (Muhammad) led them in prayer in their own homeland.

“to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa” means the Sacred House which is in Jerusalem, the origin of the Prophets from the time of Ibrahim Al-Khalil. “from Al-Masjid Al-Haram” means the Masjid in Makkah. “Who took His servant for a Journey” refers to Muhammad “by Night”means, in the depths of the night. Allah glorifies Himself, for His ability to do that which none but He can do, for there is no God but He and no Lord besides Him.
