What is an Al Baraq?

Al Baraq, often referred to in Islamic tradition, is a celestial steed that the Prophet Muhammad rode during the Night Journey (Isra and Mi'raj) from Mecca to Jerusalem and then to the heavens. Described as a magnificent creature, it is said to be faster than light and capable of transcending earthly limitations. The journey symbolizes spiritual elevation and connection to the divine. Al Baraq holds significant importance in Islamic theology and mysticism.
