Hi amrola, pls. allow me to support ur comments that night is called in arabic as ISSRA WA MEARAJ.

I heard this hadith 18 yrs ago from our Islamic theology teacher during my 2nd yr in secondary school. subhanallah, our teacher told us same story like amrola and i do believe its true coz prophet Muhammad(pbuh) is Al-amin (The trustworthy), the spirit of truth and he never lies.
