Lailat al-Miʿraj (Night Journey) refers to the Night Journey (al‑Isrā’) and Ascension (al‑Miʿrāj) of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). There is no authentic report that specifies an exact Hijri date for it, and celebrating it as a special occasion is not prescribed.

Lailat al-Miʿraj (Night Journey) is observed on 27 Rajab every Hijri year.

Islamic holidays are determined according to the Hijri lunar calendar. The beginning of each month is traditionally confirmed by the visual sighting of the new crescent moon (hilal) after sunset. Consequently, dates can vary by a day between different regions depending on visibility conditions and geographic location.

Not always. Moon sighting can differ by location, so the date can differ by a day. You can use the Hijri date adjustment setting in this app to align with your local calendar.
