Srinagar, March 01, 2022 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Shab-e-Meraj, the night when the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was ascended to the highest levels of heavens, was observed across the territory with religious devotion and fervour.

It was after two years that this holy night was observed at major masjids and shrines in the territory. It was suspended in 2020 and 2021 due to multiple lockdowns imposed by the Modi regime. The biggest congregation was witnessed at Dargah Hazratbal shrine in Srinagar which houses the holy relic of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Around 20,000 devotees participated in the night-long prayers.

Wakf Board Chief Executive Officer, Mufti Fareed-u-Din said all arrangements had been put in place for devotees. “The holy relic will be displayed to devotees on Tuesday and Wednesday at this revered shrine,” he added. Special night-long prayers were also held at Asar-e-Sharif, Janab Sahib Soura; Asar-e-Sharif, Shehri Kalashpora; Ziarat-e-Makhdoom Sahib, Khanqah-e-Mualla and other shrines in Srinagar.
