Holy Shab-e-Meraj on April 3

Secretariat Correspondent: The holy Shab-e-Meraj will be observed across the country on the night of April 3.

A decision has been at a meeting of the National Moon Sighting Committee held at the Islamic Foundation office at Baitul Mukarram on Thursday evening.

Islamic Foundation's Assistant Director (Public Relations) Muhammad Nizam Uddin came up with the information.

On the night of 26th Rajab every year, Muslims observe Shab-e-Meraj when Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) embarked on a special journey to meet Allah.

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