Shab-e-Meraj will be observed tonight by Muslims around the world, including in Pakistan, with deep religious reverence. Special prayers will be held in mosques to seek Allah’s mercy and forgiveness, and religious scholars will emphasize the importance of the event and its teachings in Islam, according to a local news report.
In celebration, Mahafil-e-Naat (gatherings for the recitation of naats) will be organized at various locations. Streets, homes, and mosques are decorated with vibrant lights, candles, and buntings to mark the occasion.
Observed annually on the 27th night of Rajab, Shab-e-Meraj commemorates the miraculous night journey of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to the heavens. The term “Meraj” is derived from the Arabic word Urooj, meaning ascension. This event holds profound significance in Islamic history as a symbol of spiritual elevation and closeness to Allah.
