The General Iftaa' Dept. Congratulates you of Al-Israa' and Al-Miraaj Aniversary


       The General Iftaa' Dept. is honored to congratulate you on the happy occasion of Al-Israa' and Al-Miraaj, which makes Muslims proud of their religion, hold on to their rights and  have confidence in their Lord, The Exalted, confirming that Al-Aqsa is deeply-rooted in the conscience of our nation so long as it recites the following verse on this very day:" Glory to (God) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things)."
       We pray that Allah, the Almighty, grants us success and favors us with celebrating this occasion, having liberated Al-Aqsa by this time of the coming year.
Happy Al-Israa' and Al-Miraaj Anniversary.
