Dhaka: The holy Shab-e-Meraj is being observed across the country tonight with due respect and religious fervour. Muslims annually commemorate the 27th night of the Arabic month of Rajab as Shab-e-Meraj, marking the night when Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) embarked on a sacred journey to meet Almighty Allah.

This event holds immense spiritual importance for Muslims worldwide.
Muslim devotees are gathering at mosques and in their homes to offer special prayers, seeking Allah’s blessings for the welfare of the nation and the Muslim Ummah. The night serves as a reminder of the Prophet’s journey and the foundational aspects of Islamic prayers.
