Shab e Meraj 2025 Date in Pakistan
Muslims in Pakistan will commemorate Shab e Meraj on January 27, 2025, which coincides with the 27th night of Rajab in the Islamic calendar. This sacred occasion is observed with prayers, supplications, and recitations, seeking blessings from Allah.
While Pakistan observes Shab e Meraj on January 27, 2025, the event will also be celebrated on the same date in India and Bangladesh. However, in the Arab world, Shab e Meraj begins on the evening of January 26, 2025, due to variations in moon sightings and time zones.
Shab e Meraj, or Lailat al Miraj as it is called in Arabic, is one of the holiest nights in Islam. Muslims worldwide commemorate the journey where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ascended to the heavens, experienced divine revelations, and was gifted the command of five daily prayers.
In Pakistan, Shab e Meraj is marked by special prayers at mosques, night-long gatherings, and discussions about the miraculous journey. Many Muslims also spend the night in reflection, reciting the Quran, and seeking forgiveness.
