The word {{transliteration|ar|Isra'}} refers to the [[night journey|Night Journey]] of the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] and about the [[Children of Israel]]. This [[Surah|surāh]] is part of a series [[al-Musabbihat]] surahs because it begins with the glorification of [[God in Islam|God]].

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (''[[asbāb al-nuzūl]]''), it is traditionally believed to be a [[Meccan surah]], from the second Meccan period (615-619).
