Shab e Meraj Celebration & Prayers
There are several ways to pray to Allah and perform good dids on this night. In this section, you will know everything about it. Here we have included several types of prayer which are acceptable to Allah. Our prophet and his partners has performed those on that night. Most of the Muslim know the common activities for everyday. But they are not sure what to do for a specific or special day or night. Here is the list below:
- Perform Shab e Meraj Namaz
- Reading the Holy Quran
- Reading The Hadith
- Performing Dua & Dhikr
- Performing Fasting
According to the Quran and Sunnah, those are the most common activities that we can perform on this occasion. But it's not enough for you; I know that you want to know how to do those. That's why I have described one by one below.
Performing Shab E Meraj Namaz
Performing Salah as a celebration of Shab E Meraj is very good deeds. Our prophet peace be upon him also used to pray Namaz on that night. Before performing Salah, you have to make Odhu and you should be clean. Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that you should always be in a clean state. Because cleanliness is part of Iman.
You can pray in the mosque or at any place in the house, but it is good to go to the mosque. The place where the prayer is offered must be holy. In order to start praying, niyat is the most important, and niyat must specify how many rak'at prayers you are offering. So I think it is important to first discuss the rak'ats of the prayer, how many rak'ats you should pray.

Reading the Holy Quran
Holy Quran is the guidelines for all nations. We Muslims follow every verse of the holy Quran. Reading Quran is best nafl pray. So, reciting Holy Quran in the special day is also special. You can read it from anywhere. If you don't know the meaning of the Arabic language, no problem! No need to know the translations; you will get reward for every letter. Allah said in the very first chapter of the Quran:
This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqoon [the pious]” (Quran, 2:2)
Our beloved prophet said:
Whoever recites ten Ayahs (verses) in qiyaam will not be recorded as one of the forgetful. Whoever recites a hundred Ayahs (verses) in qiyaam will be recorded as one of the devout, and whoever prays a thousand Ayahs (verses) in qiyaam will be recorded as one of the muqantareen (those who pile up good deeds). (Abu Dawood)
Verily the one who recites the Quran beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward. (Sahih Al-Bukhari).
Reading The Hadith
After the Quran, Hadith is the second book for all people around the world. It's not only for the Muslims. On that Holy night, we can also read the Hadith of the prophet Muhammad P(be upon him). May Allah give us tawfik to live whole life according to Quran and Sunnah. As we know the prophet Muhammad said:
I have left with you two things which, if you follow them, you will never go astray: the Book of God and the sunna of His Prophet.
Performing Dua & Dhikr
Du’aa is the brain of worship.Duas:
Astaghfirullaha rabbi min kulli zunbin wa atbu elaihi
Subhanallahi wal humdu lillahi wa la elaha illal lahu walllahu akber
Performing Fasting
Fasting is an acceptable form of worship. If you want to celebrate Shab-e-Miraj, then there is a lot of reward for fasting. Fasting prevents people from doing all kinds of bad things, which makes it easy to get closer to God. There is no specificity in how many fastings are required here. You fast one day, many stay two. That's no problem!
