The meaning of al-Buraq in the Arabic language is ‘Beam, send out light. Al-Buraq carried the Muhammad ibn Abdullah ﷺfrom Makkah to Jerusalem and back during the Isra and Mi’raj or “Night Journey”, which is the title of one of the Surah, Al-Isra, of the Qur’an. The Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid, “I was brought the Buraq, a long white beast, slightly bigger than a donkey but smaller than a mule which when trotting (ride), would place its next step as far as its eyesight could see. I mounted it until I reached al-Quds, Jerusalem. There I tied it up to the same ring used by the Prophets. Sahih Muslim 164 and Jami at Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 3440. The Prophet said, "The animal's step (was so wide that it) reached the farthest point within the reach of the animal's sight. I was carried on it, and Gabriel set out with me till we reached the nearest heaven. #ethics #islamic #hadees #helpful #health #buraq #shabemeraj #nightofmiraj #journeyofmiraj #buraqkyahai #israandmiraj #DiscoverEthics
