Is the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who ascended to the heavens on the Buraq, considered the first astronaut?

None but our Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, ascended to the heavens and had the five daily prayers enjoined upon him. He ascended above the seventh heaven and heard the words of his Lord. This ascension was not intended for exploring space, as astronauts do today; rather, it was a journey to Allah to receive revelation and to have the prayers mandated. Therefore, describing him as an "astronaut" has some validity in terms of his traversing space and going beyond the heavens, but it does not align with the intended meaning of contemporary astronauts who aim to explore what is below the lowest heaven.
