Selection from the Holy Qur'an: Chapter 17, Al-Isra (The Night Journey), Part 1 of 2

The Story of Isra’ (Night Journey) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid ai-Haram to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing. God Sent the Torah to Prophet Moses (PBUH) and We gave Moses the Scripture and made it a guidance for the Children of Israel that you not take other than Me as Disposer of affairs, O descendants of those We carried with Noah. Indeed, he was a grateful servant.
