How is the date of Isra and Mi'raj set?
Isra and Mi'raj is traditionally observed on 27 Rajab, the seventh Islamic month.
Isra and Mi'raj (الإسراء والمعراج) remembers the Prophet Muhammad's night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and his ascent through the heavens. Many Muslims mark it with night prayers.
Because the Islamic year is shorter than the Gregorian year, it falls twice within 2027: in early January and again in late December.
