Miraj is the journey of Prophet Muhammad SAW from earth to Sidratul Muntaha with the Angel Gabriel. During the seventh heaven, the Prophet met several prophets.
The Prophet met Adam in the first heaven, Jesus in the second heaven, Joseph in the third heaven, Idris in the fourth heaven, Aaron in the fifth heaven, and Moses in the sixth heaven.
During the journey of The Prophet Muhammad SAW was also faced with various temptations. The first temptation, when the prophet was offered to drink wine or milk, but the Messenger of Allah prefers milk.
During the journey of The Prophet Muhammad SAW is also always plagued with calls from demons, demons and temptresses.
Sidratul Muntaha in the seventh heaven became the end of the prophet Muhammad’s journey to receive the command of Allah.
The command received by the Prophet at that time was in the form of a prayer order 50 times in one day. But when receiving it, Prophet Muhammad SAW was warned by Moses to pay attention to the ability of his ummah.
So at that time, The Prophet Muhammad SAW asked for leniency to Allah so that the command to pray became five times a day. From then on, Muslims must pray five times.

Thus the story of Isra Miraj, the holy journey of The Prophet Muhammad SAW that must be known by Muslims.
