Holy Shab-e-Meraj tonight

The holy Shab-e-Meraj will be observed tonight with religious fervor.

Every year, on the night of Rajab 26, Muslims observe Shab-e-Meraj when Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) embarked on a special journey to meet the Almighty Allah.

In the journey, the Prophet travelled on the "Buraq" to Heaven where Allah gave him some instructions to take back to the faithful regarding the details of prayers.

During this celestial journey, he witnessed SidratulMuntaha, Baitul Mamur, the rivers of Paradise and numerous signs of divine power.

Muslim devotees will offer special prayers at mosques and homes seeking blessings of Allah for the welfare of the entire nation and the Muslim Ummah.

Shab-e-Meraj holds profound spiritual significance for Muslims. On this night, believers seek Allah’s pleasure through recitation of the Holy Quran, offering of voluntary prayers, supplication and other acts of worship.
