The “night journey” on Al-Buraq (an Islamic version of Pegasus, how about that) had Mahomet being taken to “the farthest mosque” and there is no mention of Jerusalem.

This horse called Al-Buraq was supposed to have been the horse of the other prophets. Funny there is no mention of it anywhere else; certainly none in the Old or New Testaments. Hadiths by Bin Ishaq tell crazy stories of this horse flying Abraham from Canaan to Mecca in the morning to visit Hagar and Ishmael, and then flying him back home in the evening to Sarah and Isaac.
