THE EXACT DATE OF THE ME'RAAJ AND ISRAA

The Muarrikheen (historians) have differed greatly with regard to the date of Me'raj (Ascension). Till today , NO CONSENSUS has been reached on this issue.

Hafiz ibn Hajar (Rahmatullahi alaiyh) has quoted more than ten different dates which the Ulema and historians have regarded as the possible date of Me'raj. (refer Fathul-Baree Vol.6 Page 203).

However, the majority of jurists are in favour of a date between 16-12 months prior to the migration to Madinah, but no specific day or date can be agreed upon.
