What's the significance of the 27th of Rajab in Islam?
The 27th day of the Islamic month of Rajab holds significance in Islamic tradition, particularly in Sunni and Shia communities. In Islam, Al Isra wal Miraj, which falls on the 27th of Rajab, is believed to be the night when the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) undertook the renowned journey and ascension, commonly known as Shab-e-Meraj.
In Sunni Islam:while the 27th of Rajab isn't emphasized as significantly as in Shia Islam, it is still considered a sacred day by some. There are reports suggesting that the event of Isra and Mi'raj, the Night Journey and Ascension of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), occurred during this month. However, the exact date of this event isn't universally agreed upon.
In Shia Islam, the 27th of Rajab holds special significance as it marks the birthday of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib, who is highly revered by Shia Muslims. This day is celebrated with prayers, gatherings, and reflections on the life and teachings of Imam Ali.
Overall, while the 27th of Rajab is not universally celebrated or observed in the same manner across all sects of Islam, it remains a day of spiritual significance for many Muslims.
