Egyptian Ministry of Culture Publication: The Prophet Muhammad's 'Night Journey' was Not to Jerusalem but to Medina
From MEMRI. The Ministry of Culture is now saying that a correct reading of the Koran does not describe a "Night Journey" from Mecca to Jerusalem. The "Night Journey" was to Medina, not Jerusalem, and was the very same as the "Hijra" or "Hegira" that is the epochal starting point of the Muslim calendar. If true, this severely weakens Muslim claims to the Temple Mount and even exposes them as interlopers. But we knew that all the time, did we not? Question for everyone: Why is this coming out today? Could someone be laying the basis for the Covenant with the Many [Daniel 9:27]?
