Shab-e-Meraj, also known as Al-Isra Wal-Miraj or the Night of Miraj, is a significant event in Islam that commemorates the night journey of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Jerusalem and then to heaven. It is believed to have taken place on the 27th night of the month of Rajab in the Islamic calendar.
The journey is described in the Quran, in Sura 17:1, as follows: “Exalted is He who took His Servant by night from the Holy Mosque to the Farthest Mosque, the surroundings of which We have blessed, to show him some of Our signs. In fact, He is the one who hears, the one who sees.”

Shab-e-Meraj: history and meaning
It is said that the journey began when the angel Gabriel awakened the prophet Muhammad and took him before the Buraq, a white beast with the head of a woman, the body of a horse and the wings of an eagle. They then traveled to Jerusalem, where the prophet Muhammad led the prophets in prayer.
After this, the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven, where he met with Allah and received a series of important revelations, including the five daily prayers.
The Night of Miraj is an important event in Islam because it demonstrates the special relationship between the Prophet Muhammad and Allah. It is also a time for Muslims to reflect on the importance of prayer and strive to be closer to Allah.
