The research project investigates Muslim approaches and attitudes to the Prophet Muhammad's night journey and ascension to heaven from the first extant written reports in the 9th century AD up to the present time. It demonstrates how these attitudes have evolved and continue to evolve in response to wider issues concerning the understanding of the nature of Muhammad, the status of Islamic traditions as a source of knowledge, sectarian interests and responses to modernism. It also deals with the function of the night journey and ascension as potent symbol within the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In addition, the research examines non-Muslim Western perspectives on the subject and Illustrates how these have been similarly conditioned by attitudes to Muhammad, the nature of prophecy, religion and Islam. The night journey and ascension is the most important religious narrative in Islam and the single most auspicious event within the biography of Muhammad. The investigation of how Muslims view the event helps us to reveal and understand some of the fundamental elements from which the Muslim worldview is constructed. The research is to be published as a monograph.

该研究项目调查了从公元世纪现存的第一份书面报告到现在，穆斯林对先知穆罕默德夜间旅行和Ascension的态度和态度。它展示了这些态度是如何演变的，并继续演变，以应对更广泛的问题，涉及对穆罕默德的本质的理解，伊斯兰传统作为知识来源的地位，宗派利益和对现代主义的反应。它还涉及夜间旅行和Ascension的功能，作为巴以冲突中的有力象征。此外，该研究还探讨了非穆斯林西方对这一问题的看法，并说明了这些看法如何受到对穆罕默德的态度、预言的性质、宗教和伊斯兰教的影响。夜间旅行和Ascension是伊斯兰教中最重要的宗教叙事，也是穆罕默德传记中最吉祥的事件。对穆斯林如何看待这一事件的调查有助于我们揭示和理解穆斯林世界观的一些基本要素。这项研究将作为专著出版。
