The event, organised by the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, took place at the cultural centre of the King Abdullah I Mosque. The Israa, followed by the Miraj, took place on Rajab 27, the seventh month of the Hijri lunar calendar, in the 10th year of Mohammad's prophethood. Islamic sources say the prophet was carried from the Holy Mosque in Mecca to the Farthest Mosque (Al Aqsa Mosque) in Jerusalem on a creature called Al Buraq, and in the company of the archangel Gabriel, who took him to heaven. During the ceremony, Minister of Awqaf Mohammad Khalaileh emphasised the importance of the occasion as a reflection of the nation's enduring commitment to its Islamic heritage and history. He described the event as an opportunity to honour the Prophet Mohammad's (PBUH) journey and reaffirm the duty to protect Islamic sanctities. Khalaileh called for unity in support of the Kingdom's efforts to protect Islamic holy sites, especially in light of the increasing threats to Al Aqsa Mosque. "Anyone who believes that Muslims will give up even an inch of Al-Aqsa Mosque is deeply mistaken," he said. "Throughout history, Muslims have made great sacrifices to defend it, from the Pact of Umar to its liberation under Salahuddin Al Ayyubi. The Arab Army defended it bravely, and the martyrs rest along its walls, their graves standing as eternal symbols of their sacrifice." The event was attended by senior officials and dignitaries, including Royal Court Chief Yousef Issawi, the Grand Mufti of Jordan Ahmed Al Hasanat, the Chief Islamic Justice Abdulhafith Rabtah, Imam of the Royal Court Ahmed Khalaileh and the Secretary General of the Ministry of Awqaf Abdullah Aqil. Also present were Senator Ahmad Hlayel, Grand Mufti of the Jordanian Armed Forces Col. Hassan Mukhatereh, Mufti of the Public Security Directorate Col. Samer Hwamlah, senior military and civilian officials, and ambassadors of Arab and Islamic nations accredited to Jordan.
