What Is Shab E Miraj?

The Night of Ascension, also known as Shab-e-Meraj, is a crucial occasion in Islamic history. It happened in the eleventh year of the prophetic career of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), roughly one year before the Hijra (migration) to Medina. Islamic legend holds that the Prophet (PBUH) was carried by the Angel Jibreel (AS) from the Kaaba in Mecca to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on this auspicious night. From that point on, the Prophet (SAW) travelled through the heavens and encountered a number of prophets before arriving at the Divine presence. These prophets were Musa, Ibrahim, Isa, Yusuf, Adam, Idris, and Haroon (as).

Allah gave the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) the instruction to offer the five daily prayers (salah) during their celestial journey. This night is a testimony to the Prophet’s (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) great status as the Seal of the Prophets and represents his unmatched proximity to Allah. Celebrated on the 27th night of the Islamic month of Rajab, Shab-e-Meraj serves as a reminder to Muslims of the value of religion, prayer, and the spiritual link between the worlds of earth and heaven.
