I've heard, (I'm a kaffir), that Mohammed, peace be upon his name, went to Jerusalem and ascended on his horse to heaven and talked to Allah.
I read a biography of the prophet but found no trace of this story. Is it in the Koran?
This book is not easily available where I live.

Yes we all know about the Jews refusing to acknowledge a teddy bear riding to heaven on his camel but still being offended because others refuse to swallow it and maybe even find it laughable/a joke
"So this guy goes up to Jerusalem on a horse...
No another guy went up 605 years before him and took off without the donkey.
YEAH! Well our guy went up to heaven on a horse, talked to GOD, and CAME BACK and wrote it all down.
(Except he was illiterate)
So what do you think of that?
Oh Yeah, not only that. He's the last of the big liars. He was so good that we put up grand buildings to him, like we did for all the other delusionists.

Yes the journey to Jerusalem is in the Quran Sura 17 the first line.
As for the validity of the story on his way back he saw caravans and they all came to Medina. If you can accept that he receives Revelation then why can't you accept that ascending to speak to God in his presence?
The story was orally transmitted from person to person until it was recorded.
So if you are not a believer, then it doesn't make a difference to you doesn't it.

The story is that Muhammad went in an out of body experience on a flying horse to Jerusalem in a single night, where he met with Christ and Moses. He awoke and described it to everyone.
Sadly, he described a temple on the mount which had been in ruins for 530 years. Great imagination, but he never got beyond the borders of present day saudi arabia.
During the early years in Medina, Muhammad directed his folowers to pray to jerusalem. When the Jews rejected him, Allah miraculously changed his mind and they all started praying back towards Mecca. I find it distrubing that God would be so changeable and fickle, but fortunately, Allah and God are not the same.

yes it is in Qoran , 4:18, 17:1 " The Ascension is a question that results from the essentials and pillars of belief, and follows on after them, a light that draws strength from the lights of the pillars of belief. For sure, the Ascension cannot be proved independently to irreligious atheists who do not accept the pillars of belief, because it cannot be discussed with those who neither know God, nor recognize the Prophet, nor accept the angels, and who deny the existence of the heavens".but if u want it continue, I can send

No. The bastard was an illiterate. How could he read the roadsigns from Saudi Arabia all the way to Jerusalem, Israel?
Oh, he probably hired someone to do it for him, someone who could read, after all, the very masculine Mohammed married a wealthy woman and just freeloaded off her, that's before he began raping 3 year old toddlers of course.

No. In fact, Muhammad was a murdered (beheaded between 600-900 people personally) and a pedophile (consummated marriage with Aisha before her 10th birthday). All the sites that are holy to Mohammad outside of Mecca and Medina are holy to him only because they were holy to Christians and Jews.

So they say. There's even a holy day to commemorate it. The place he is said to have ascended from is the rock inside the Dome of the Rock next to the Al Aqsa mosque, located on the site of the former Jewish Temple and said to be the very rock on which Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son Ishmael/Isaac. Do you understand the problem of Jerusalem now?

Interestingly, although Mohammed did supposedly leap to heaven from Jerusalem, the city is not mentioned ONCE in the Quran.
And Muslims pray facing Mecca, not Jerusalem. They will freely admit that Mecca and Medina are their two most holy cities. Jerusalem comes in third.

I am not sure where the story is from, but that is why the Dome of the Rock is there. It is supposed to be on the exact spot.
Kinda funny it is right over the Jewish Temple.....
