Counting down to Lailatul Isra Wal Mi Raj
What Lailatul Isra Wal Mi Raj marks
The Israʾ and Miʿraj or Ascension of Muhammad refer to an evolving body of Islamic narratives concerning the night journey, during which the Islamic prophet Muhammad ascends to the heavens, witnesses the afterlife, and returns. The subject holds a pivotal position in shaping many religious-political stances, even today. However, the basis for the issue in the Quran—an indisputable point of reference in the Islamic world—consists solely of two statements with unspecified subjects and addressees; verses 1-18 of Surāh an-Najm and some verses of the 17th chapter of the Quran, later commonly called Surāh al-’Isrā’. The framework and the details are elaborated and developed in various miraculous accounts, some of which are based on hadith —reports of the teachings, deeds, and sayings of Muhammad— compiled centuries after his lifetime.

Why this date says “tentative”
Lailatul Isra Wal Mi Raj follows a lunar or observation-based calendar, so its Gregorian date cannot be fixed far ahead. The day depends on a moon sighting or an official announcement, which is why calendar feeds — including the one in Google Calendar, where most people first see the label — publish an estimate marked (tentative). It is not an error: it is the calendar being honest that the date may still move by a day or two, and neighbouring countries can observe it on different days. Read the full explanation →
