Holiday Today


Happy Izra Wal Miraj to all my Islam brother and sisters. . Today is the Night Journey and Ascension of Prophet Mohammad corresponding to the 27th day of Rajab, 1430 Hijra of the Islamic Lunar Calendar.

This is recognized as a legal Muslim Holiday by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1082 and Civil Service Commission Resolution No. 81-1277 dated November 13, 1981.

Izra Wal Miraj is celebrated each year by the whole Muslim world via a festival for families, the Lailat al Miraj. Parents bring their children to mosques where the little ones are told the story and pray with the grown-ups.

Wassalam.

Peace and Light!
