CAIR

Verse of the Day: Isra and Miraj
"Glorified be He (God) who took His servant (Muhammad) for a journey by night from al-Masjid al-Haram (in Mecca) to al-Masjid al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem), whose precincts we have blessed ... " The Holy Quran, 17:1 ("Masjid" is the Arabic word for "mosque.") Masjid Al-Aqsa and the Dome of the Rock are located on "Haram Al-Shareef," or the "noble enclosure" in Jerusalem's Old City. The night journey referred to in this verse is that of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem, and from the rock now located in the Dome of the Rock, to heaven. This event, known as "al-Isra wa al-Miraj," is noted each year by more than 1.6 billion Muslims worldwide.
