Muslims across Pakistan observed Shab-e-Meraj on Friday night with great religious zeal and devotion. The holy night commemorates the ascension of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to the highest levels of Heaven. After Isha prayers, mosques were filled with worshippers offering special prayers that continued until Fajr. Religious scholars delivered sermons emphasizing the significance of the night and its blessings, while also reflecting on the teachings and life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). It was on this night that the command for five daily prayers (Salat) was revealed to the Prophet (PBUH), making it one of the most revered nights in Islam.
