The Isra and Mi'raj (Arabic: ??????? ?????????; transl. al-?Isra? wa l-Mi?rag); are the two parts of a Night Journey that; according to Islamic tradition; the Prophet Muhammad took during a single night around the year 621. It considered as both a physical and spiritual journey.

A brief outline of the story is related in surah 17 'Al-Isra' of the Qur'an; and other details come from the Hadith; supplemental accounts of the life ofthe Prophet Muhammad recorded by his companions. In the journey; the Prophet Muhammad travels on the celestial mount Al-Buraq to 'the farthest temple' (Holy Temple of Al-Quds or Jerusalem) where he leads other prophets in prayer. He then ascends through the seven heavens where he speaks to God; who gives Muhammad instructions to take back to the faithful on Earth about the number of times to offer prayers each day.

According to traditions; the Journey is associated with the Lailat al Miraj; as one of the most significant events in the Islamic calendar.

Representations of the Prophet Muhammad are controversial; and generally forbidden in Sunni Islam (especially Hanafiyya; Wahabi; Salafiyya). Shia Islam and some other branches of Sunni Islam (Hanbali; Maliki; Shafi'i) are generally more tolerant of such representational images; but even so the Prophet's features are generally veiled or concealed by flames as a mark of deep respect.
