Lailat al Miraj (Shab-e-Miraj, Isra / Meraj)
12:00 PM
Commemorates the night when Prophet Muhammad made the journey from Mecca to the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and then ascended to heaven where his heart was purified and he was filled with knowledge of faith, after which he came back to Mecca--all in the span of a night.
