According to Islam, Muhammad had a magical journey astride a mythical beast called a buraq, which ascended to heaven above Jerusalem. This allowed Muhammad to meat with the previous prophets, before returning to Earth. Subsequently, the Muslims built Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock Shrine on the site where this incredible event was supposed to have taken place. As a result, Jerusalem retains a high level of importance in Islam.
