Overview

The Al-Buraq Mosque is a subterranean musalla (prayer hall) in the Old City of Jerusalem, next to the Buraq Wall and close to the southwest corner of the Al-Aqsa compound. It takes its name from a ring set into its wall, to which Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad tied the Buraq, the steed that carried him from the Sacred Mosque to Al-Aqsa during the Night Journey. Its religious significance is therefore linked to the Isra and Mi'raj. It is counted among the historic underground prayer spaces of the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex.
From Wikipedia
The al-Buraq Mosque (Arabic: مَسْجِدُ ٱلْبُرَاق, romanized: Masjid al-Burāq) is a subterranean musalla next to the Buraq Wall, near the southwest corner of the Masjid al-Aqsa compound in the Old City of Jerusalem. The mosque is called al-Buraq because of a ring that is nailed to its wall where Muslims believe Muhammad tied the buraq that carried him from the al-Haram Mosque to the al-Aqsa Mosque during the Night Journey.
