Look Up for the Leonids
The Leonids come with a bonus this year: A Mars-Jupiter close approach will be visible near the meteor shower’s radiant. Find out when and where to see them.
Isra and Mi'raj, also known as Al Isra' wal Miraj, is observed on the 27th day of the month of Rajab, the seventh month in the Islamic calendar. This event marks the night that Allah (God) took Mohammad (also known as Mohamed or Muhammed) on a journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then to heaven.
Is Isra and Mi'raj a Public Holiday?
Although Isra and Mi'raj is not a public holiday, businesses and schools may be closed because it falls on the same date as New Year Holiday in 2027.
