About this day
Laylat al-Miraj belongs to the night, while the daytime observance of the same date is the Mabath. Marking the Miraj on this night is a recognised position within the Twelver tradition, and this night is reported as the most famous of the dates given for it, though communities differ and some keep the Mabath alone. The Centre carries both records, one by night and one by day.
Communities differ on this
Families at the Centre do not all keep this on the same day. The date above is the one the Centre observes; it is not a ruling on anyone else’s.
