It mandates the closure of colleges across the province to honor the religious occasion. Shab-e-Mairaj marks the night when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ascended to the heavens, a significant event in Islamic history.
Observed on the 27th night of Rajab, this occasion is regarded with deep reverence by Muslims worldwide. Many spend the night in prayer, seeking blessings and forgiveness.
