Shab-e-Meraj being observed

The holy Shab-e-Meraj is being observed across the country with due respect and religious fervour on Monday night. 

Muslims every year on the 27th night of the Arabic month of Rajab observe the Shab-e-Meraj.

On this night, Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) embarked on a special journey to meet the Almighty Allah.

In the journey, the Prophet (PBUH) travelled on the "Buraq" to heaven where Allah gave him instructions to take back to the faithful regarding the details of prayers.

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

On the occasion, the Islamic Foundation organized a discussion and doa mahfil at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque after Zohr prayers today highlighting the significance of the Shab-e-Meraj.
