Burrak or Burraq is the name of a horse-like animal with the heavenly winged steed that bore Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Earth to Heaven. After the transformation of the body, a conveyance named Burraq was presented before Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The Burraq resembled a horse-like animal but its very name indicates that it also possessed a lightning body. The word Burraq is derived from the root Bar’q that means ‘electricity’ in Arabic. Burraq signifies that he had to be taken with the velocity of Bar’q that is electricity or light, which is 300,000 km per second.
