Night of Friday, 17 February 2023
27 Rajab 1444 AH
Isra and Mi'raj 2023 is expected on the night of Friday, 17 February 2023, the eve of 27 Rajab 1444 AH. Dates in the Islamic calendar follow the moon, so they move about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year. The date shown here is based on the Umm Al-Qura calendar used in Saudi Arabia; in countries that rely on local moon sighting, such as Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, it may fall one day later.
Al-Isra wal-Mi'raj (Shab-e-Miraj) is the miraculous Night Journey of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Al-Masjid al-Haram in Makkah to Al-Masjid al-Aqsa in Jerusalem, and his ascension through the heavens, during which the five daily prayers were made obligatory (Surah Al-Isra, 17:1).
It is commonly observed on the night of 27 Rajab, although the exact date is not established in authentic sources.
