# Isra and Miraj

Isra and Miraj falls on 27 Rajab of every Hijri year. By tabular reckoning its next occurrence is 2027-01-06 (1448 AH). Because the Hijri calendar is lunar and about eleven days shorter than the Gregorian year, its Gregorian date moves earlier each year.

## Common questions

**When is Isra and Miraj in 2027?**

By tabular reckoning it falls on 2027-01-06, which is 27 Rajab 1448 AH. The observed date depends on the sighting of the new crescent and may differ by a day.

**What is the Hijri date of Isra and Miraj?**

27 Rajab, every Hijri year. That date never changes; only its Gregorian equivalent moves.

**Why do announced dates sometimes differ by a day?**

The dates here are tabular — arithmetic, computable years ahead. An announced date follows an actual sighting of the new crescent, which depends on weather, location and the criteria a given authority applies.

**Which date should I follow?**

For observance, follow the announcement of your local authority rather than a calculated date, including the one on this page.
