Isra and Mi'raj in Brunei

Isra and Mi'raj is an important Islamic event commemorated on the 27th day of the Islamic month of Rajab. In Brunei, this event is observed with great reverence due to its significance in Islamic tradition.

Historical Background:

The event marks two parts of a miraculous journey that the Prophet Muhammad took in one night around the year 621 CE.

  • Isra: Refers to the Prophet's night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem (Al-Aqsa Mosque).
  • Mi'raj: Describes his ascension from Jerusalem to heaven, where he spoke with Allah.

This journey emphasizes the Prophet's role as a messenger of God and is celebrated as a testament to his prophethood and the Muslim faith's spiritual depth.

  • Recitation: The Quranic verses and Hadiths (sayings of the Prophet) pertaining to Isra and Mi'raj are often recited by individuals and at public gatherings.

  • Public Holiday: While it is not a public holiday, religious observances are conducted, and some organizations may have reduced work hours to allow employees to participate in religious activities.

  • Educational Events: Schools may organize educational programs for students so they can learn about the importance of this event in Islam.
