Re: Dates for

I’m afraid to ask, but what exactly is Shab-e-Miraj?

Re: Dates for

shab e meraj was the day in which our beloved prophet Muhammad Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him, had a vision of going in heaven and meeting prophets and I guess He SAW met Allah too not sure, perhaps someone else can shed a light on this in more depth...

Re: Dates for

You are saying that the ibaadat ki raat tomorrow as in Thursday night and day than comes the Friday night and one would start the fast on that night?

Little confused on when to fast can some one make it more clear when to fast and when to do the ibaadat?

Let me do the honors…

With regard to this night on which the Isra’ and Mi’raaj took place, there is nothing in the saheeh ahaadeeth to indicate that it is in Rajab or in any other month. Everything that has been narrated concerning a specific date for these events cannot be proven to have come from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) according to the scholars of hadeeth. Allaah has wise reasons for causing the people to forget it. Even if the date were proven, it would not be permissible for the Muslims to single it out for particular acts of worship, and it is not permissible for them to celebrate it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and his companions (may Allaah be pleased with them) did not celebrate it and they did not single it out in any way. If celebrating it was something that is prescribed in Islam, the Messenger would have told his ummah about that, either in word or in deed. If any such thing had happened, it would have been well known, and his companions would have transmitted the information to us. They narrated from their Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) everything that his ummah needs to know, and they did not neglect any aspect of the religion, rather they were the first ones to do anything good. If celebrating this night had been prescribed in Islam, they would have been the first people to do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the most sincere of people, and he conveyed the message to the people in full, and he fulfilled the trust. If venerating and celebrating this night were part of the religion of Allaah, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have done that and would not have concealed it. Since no such thing happened, it is known that celebrating it and venerating it is not part of Islam at all. Allaah has perfected this ummah’s religion for it and has completed His favour upon them, and He condemns those who introduce things into the religion which Allaah has not ordained.

Re: Dates for

Only if you can prove to me from the Saheeh and Hassan ahadeeth, that celebrating the night, was a practice of the Sahaaba (rah) and the Prophet (sas) himself.
