Isra and Miraj are two parts of a miraculous journey that the Prophet Muhammad is said to have taken in one night, around the year 621. The Isra refers to his night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem, and the Miraj describes his ascension to heaven.
In Djibouti, a predominantly Muslim country, Isra and Miraj (known as Lailat al Miraj in Arabic) is considered an important religious event. It typically falls on the 27th day of Rajab, the seventh month in the Islamic calendar.
Prayer: Muslims in Djibouti participate in special prayers during the night. Mosques may hold gatherings for communal prayer and recitation of relevant verses from the Quran.
Religious Talks: Scholars or Imams may give talks explaining the significance of Isra and Miraj, discussing themes such as faith, spiritual journey, and the importance of prayer.
Reflection: Individuals may spend time reflecting on their own spiritual journey and personal growth.
Fasting: Some people choose to fast during this day as an act of worship and contemplation.
While there might not be large-scale public celebrations seen in other holidays like Eid, families might still gather for meals or to discuss the story.
Children are often taught about the events of Isra and Miraj through stories, helping them understand their cultural heritage.
Note: The observance of Isra and Miraj can vary significantly between communities within Djibouti based on local traditions and interpretations. Some people may observe it as a day of quiet reflection while others treat it more ceremoniously.
