In Islamic tradition, the Isra and Mi'raj are the two parts
of a journey that Muhammad took in one night, around the year
621. Many Muslims consider it a physical journey but some
scholars consider it a dream or vision. The event is celebrated
each year via a festival for families, the Lailat al Miraj, one
of the most important events in the Islamic calendar.Muslims
bring their children to the mosques, where the children are
told the story, pray with the adults, and then afterwards food and
treats are served.
