He is riding a creature called a Buraq.]] The '''Isra and Mi'raj''' are two parts of a story that [[Muslim]]s tell about [[Muhammad]]. They say that in the year 621, while he was resting in the [[Kaaba]] in [[Mecca]], an [[angel]] came to him, with an animal called a [[Buraq]]. The [[Buraq]] carried Muhammad to a [[mosque]] that was far away, and then the [[Buraq]] took Muhammad up into heaven. While in Heaven, Muhammad met [[Adam]] and [[Moses]] and [[Allah]] (God), and then came back down to Earth. Every year, Muslims hold a [[festival]] for the Isra and Mi'raj. They bring their children to the mosques, where the children can hear the story, and then pray with the grownups. Afterwards there is a feast and everyone can eat.
