More about this special night

Isra Mi’raj is celebrated on the evening of the 26th of Rajab &amp; the day of the 27th of Rajab. This night happened in 621, the year of sadness (‘Aam ul Huzn), when Abu Talib &amp; Khadijah (RA) died. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) rode Buraq (a white steed) during his journey, and Allah enjoined 50 prayers, which He later reduced to five.

He met different Prophets on the journey:

– 7th Heaven met Ibrahim (AS)
– 6th Heaven met Musa (AS)
– 5th Heaven met Harun (AS)
– 4th Heaven met Idris (AS)
– 3rd Heaven met Yusuf (AS)
– 2nd Heaven met Isa (AS) &amp; Yahya (AS)
– 1st Heaven met Adam (AS)

MI’RAJ – Ascend to heaven, where he speaks to God
