Peak of Humanity From an Islamic perspective, the experience of Isra and Miraj, journey to Jerusalem and then ascension to the heavens in one night is a significant event in the history of humanity. For the first time, a messenger was invited to the heavens to experience the worlds that are yet to emerge and then report it back to the believers.
Date Converter. The Islamic calendar 2023 is based on the moon. Also known as the Hijri Calendar 1445, it started after the Hijrah of the Prophet (PBUH) to Madina. The beginning of each month is contingent on the visibility of the moon at the end of the previous month. Once the moon is sighted, the new month commences. As the hadith indicates, three of the four sacred months are consecutive and the month of Rajab comes 5 months after the month of Muharram. For this reason, some scholars call it Rajab al-Fard, i.e. the solitary Rajab. Muslims believe Rajab is the month in which 'Alī ibn Abī Tālib, the fourth Rashidun caliph, was born. Rajab is also the month during which Isra and Mi'raj (Muhammad's journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then through the seven Heavens) took place. Rajab and Shaʿbān are a prelude to the holy month of Ramaḍān. vpiRM. 454 482 140 323 241 249 320 456 152
