Isra and Mi'raj 2026 in Yemen

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.

Even though Isra and Mi'raj falls on Friday, January 16, 2026, it is a working day. Most businesses follow regular opening hours in Yemen.
