26th of Rajab nights is known as Lilatul Miraj or Shabe Miraj. The Prophet (peace be upon him) went to the mosque that night and had a conversation with Allah, as mentioned in the Qur’an and Hadith. Prayers are made obligatory on Muslims in Shabe Miraj. That is why the night is celebrated with special importance in the subcontinent.
The counting of the days of Holy Ramadan begins with the beginning of the month of Rajab. Ramadan begins just two months after that. Muslims started to prepare for Ramadan as the month of Rajab begins.
