The claim is made in the Quran and hadiths that Muhammad journeyed to the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem on a winged white mule called Buraq from the Great Mosque in Mecca in about 621 AD (The Isra). Then he had his journey to heaven from there (Mi'raj). But since the Al-Aqsa mosque was built 70 years later this is clearly not true. Muhammad had never been to Jerusalem so he probably spoke out of ignorance.
Glory to Him Who carried His beloved by night from the Sacred Masjid to the Furthest Masjid, whose precincts We have blessed, to show him of Our wonders! He it is Who is All-Hearing, All-Seeing: Quran 17:1
So since the facts about this vision are all wrong. Did Muhammad just make it up. Or was it added to the Quran later (e.g. after the building of the Al-Aqsa mosque)
