Bid‘ah Is Never Barren – One Innovation Creates Many



Introduction :

Many Muslims believe that 27th Rajab is the fixed night of Isra and Mi‘raj, but when we examine the Qur’an, authentic Ahadith, and the understanding of the Sahabah, we find no sound evidence that specifies this date.
The event of Mi‘raj is undeniably true, yet assigning a specific night (27 Rajab) is not proven in Islam. True love for the Prophet ﷺ means following authentic evidence, not assumptions.

🔹 Description

Isra and Mi‘raj was one of the greatest miracles of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, during which five daily prayers were made obligatory.
However, Islam does not allow fixing a date for worship unless it is clearly proven by Qur’an or Sahih Hadith.
Celebrating or giving religious status to 27 Rajab as Shab-e-Mi‘raj has no basis in authentic Islamic sources.

🔹 Proof: Why 27 Rajab is NOT the Night of Mi‘raj

📖 1. Qur’an Does NOT mention a date

Surah Al-Isra (17:1) confirms the event but:
❌ No date
❌ No month
❌ No night mentioned

📚 2. Sahih Ahadith do NOT fix 27 Rajab

All authentic narrations:
✔ Describe the journey
✔ Mention prayers
❌ Do NOT mention 27 Rajab

📌 Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim — No date mentioned.

👥 3. Sahabah never celebrated 27 Rajab

No gathering

No special prayer

No fasting

No celebration

➡️ If it were virtuous, they would have done it first.

🕌 4. Scholars’ Consensus

Imam Ibn Taymiyyah (RA):

“There is no authentic evidence that Isra and Mi‘raj occurred on the 27th of Rajab.”

Imam Nawawi, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Hajar:
✔ Event is true
❌ Date is unknown

⚠️ 5. Assigning religious value without proof = Bid‘ah

Islam strictly forbids introducing new religious practices without evidence.

🔹 Correct Islamic Approach

✔ Believe in Mi‘raj
✔ Honor Salah (its greatest gift)
✔ Avoid fixing unproven dates
✔ Follow Qur’an & Sunnah

Satan’s Challenge to Allah

Image
🌟 Introduction (Verses 77–85) These verses continue the story of Iblis’s defiance and reveal the first divine punishment, Satan’s arrogant challenge, and Allah’s firm response. After refusing to bow to Adam, Iblis is expelled from the mercy of Allah, but he requests respite until the Day of Judgment. Allah grants him that time, and Iblis swears to mislead as many humans as possible — except the sincere servants of Allah. Allah then firmly declares that Hell will be filled with Iblis and all who follow him. This passage teaches us about: The danger of ego and arrogance The enemy’s (Satan’s) tactics The importance of sincerity in worship The certainty of divine justice 📜 Revealed History (Shan-e-Nuzool) These verses were revealed in Makkah. The Quraysh were proud and arrogant in their rejection of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This passage mirrors their arrogance through the story of Iblis and serves as a warning: just as Iblis was cast away due to pride, those who reject Allah’s com...

  Introduction The final moments of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ were not ordinary. They were filled with mercy, choice, and divine honor.
