Shab-e-Mehraj is one of the most spiritually profound nights in Islam, commemorating the miraculous night journey (Isra) and ascension (Mehraj) of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Observed with deep reverence by Muslims across the world, this night is not merely a historical event but a timeless spiritual message that continues to guide humanity toward faith, discipline, and moral elevation. According to Islamic tradition, on this blessed night the Prophet (PBUH) was taken from Masjid-al-Haram in Makkah to Masjid-al-Aqsa in Jerusalem and from there ascended through the heavens, where he was honoured with divine revelations. Among the greatest gifts bestowed upon the Ummah during Mehraj was the institution of Salah (five daily prayers), which serves as a direct link between the believer and Allah. Prayer, therefore, is not a ritual obligation alone, but a spiritual ascent for every believer, mirroring the Prophet’s heavenly journey. The essence of Shab-e-Mehraj lies in self-purification and spiritual awakening. It reminds believers that true success is achieved by rising above ego, materialism, and moral decay. Mehraj symbolises that human beings, despite their earthly limitations, possess the potential to attain spiritual heights through faith, obedience, and righteousness. It teaches that closeness to Allah is earned through humility, patience, and steadfast devotion. This sacred night also carries a strong message of hope and mercy. At a time when the Prophet (PBUH) faced immense hardship, rejection, and grief, Allah honoured him with this divine journey. Shab-e-Mehraj thus reassures believers that after every trial comes relief, and that perseverance in faith is always rewarded. It instils resilience in the hearts of people facing adversity, reminding them that divine support is never far. In contemporary times, when societies are grappling with moral confusion, intolerance, and spiritual emptiness, the message of Shab-e-Mehraj is more relevant than ever. It calls for introspection, ethical conduct, and compassion towards others. The Prophet’s meeting with earlier messengers during Mehraj symbolises unity of faith, respect for diversity, and the shared values of humanity. Shab-e-Mehraj is best observed not only through night-long prayers, recitation of the Qur’an, and remembrance of Allah, but also by embodying its spirit in daily life. Honesty, justice, kindness, and responsibility toward society are the true reflections of this night’s message. Ultimately, Shab-e-Mehraj invites every believer to undertake their own spiritual journey — from darkness to light, from negligence to awareness, and from worldly attachment to divine closeness. It is a night that inspires hearts to rise, souls to reflect, and lives to transform.
