Shab e Miraj
Tuesday, 16 January, 2026
Shab-e-Miraj (also called Lailat al-Miraj) is a very special night in Islam.
It is the night when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was taken by Allah Almighty on a miraculous journey — first from Masjid al-Haram in Makkah to Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, and then from there to the heavens.
During this journey, the Prophet ﷺ met many prophets, saw the wonders of Paradise and Hell, and was given the gift of five daily prayers (Salah) for his followers.
This night shows the high honor of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the importance of prayer in Islam.
Muslims remember Shab-e-Miraj by offering extra prayers, reading the Quran, and thanking Allah for His blessings.
