This verse is conventionally interpreted to mean that Mohammad was miraculously transported to a "Further Mosque," in Arabic ''al-Masjid al-ʾAqṣā'', as part of a one night journey in 621 and briefly ascended to heaven there. The al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem is one of only three that are suggested as destinations for Islamic pilgrimage. The other two pilgrimage mosques are in Mecca and Medina.
