Questions about Isra and Mir'aj

[khalid2]

Asalamu Alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh my brothers and sisters in Islam

I have a few questions about this topic.

1. "Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from al-Masjid al-Haram to al-Masjid al- Aqsa, whose surroundings We have blessed, to show him of Our signs. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Seeing." 17:1 (Surah Al-Isra)

Is this the Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem?

2. Where did the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) lead all the prophets in prayer? Was it in Masjid al-Aqsa or in the heavens?

3. When the Angel Jabril (AS) took him on the journey through the heavens and he was meeting all the prophets as he went higher and higher to the heavens. Did he ever enter paradise?

4. Last but not least. Is Al-Bayt al-Ma'mur the Ka'ba of Jannah? or is it located in the 7th heaven where the prophet (SAW) greeted Ibrahim (AS) and please explain the part where he had his back to Al-Bayt al-Ma'mur? and why did he have his back against it?

Jazzakallah Khayran

3. Don't think so, after the 7th heaven, they went to Allah where he received a gift of 50 salahs for his ummah which were eventually reduced down to 5 but you still get the ajr of 50 by the mercy of Allah.

4. Yes, it is.
