The distance between Mecca and Jerusalem is 755.1 miles. To complete this feat in one night would have meant that Buraq must have been jet propelled in the 7th Century.

Not accurate.

A piston powered horse could have made the 1510 mile round trip overnight. Under 8 hours at 200 miles per hour, giving time to re-fuel at the other end of the line.
