Buraq
Al-Buraq ( al-Buraq "lightning") is a steed in Islamic mythology, a creature from the heavens that transported the prophets. Most notably Buraq carried the Islamic prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem and back during the Isra and Mi'raj or "Night Journey", as recounted both in the Al-Isra surah of the Quran and in hadith literature.
