Night Journey to the Heavens
Administrator on July 19th, 2009
On the 27th of Rajab every year, Muslims celebrate Al-Isra Wal Miraj, the Night Journey to the Heavens, event in which the beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) traveled from Makkah to Jerusalem and from there he went beyond the seventh heaven until he reached the presence of Allah Almighty and witnessed the glorious countenance of the Lord of the heavens and the earth.
To celebrate this miracolous night journey, the following programmes will be held on Sunday 19th July 2009 at:
1) Woodsley Community Centre, between 11 – 12.30pm for the youth;
2) Makkah Masjid between 11.30 – 1.30pm exclusively for sisters; and
3) Makkah Masjid after Asr prayer (7:30pm) open to all brothers and sisters. Talk will be given in Urdu and English.
Part of the objective of organizing such events is to encourage our youth, our sisters and elders to participate by reciting the glorious Quran, reading nasheeds and naats in praise of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and delivering shorts talks on Islam.
During these programmes, the events that took place during this miracolous night journey will be explored and the importance of the gift of Miraj (salah, namaz, prayer) will be highlighted.
After Maghrib prayer, 10:00pm, Imam of Makkah Masjid, Qari Asim will deliver his talk at Leeds Radio station 107.3fm regaring the meeting that took place between Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the night of Miraj.
