Why Isra and Mi'raj falls when it does in 2027
Isra and Mi'raj is fixed in the Hijri calendar, which is purely lunar with no leap month at all. Twelve lunar months run about eleven days shorter than a solar year, so the Gregorian date walks steadily backwards through the seasons and returns to the same point roughly every thirty-three years — 11 days earlier than in 2026.
Isra and Mi'raj falls twice in 2027 — Tuesday, January 5, 2027 and Saturday, December 25, 2027. A Hijri year is about 354 days, so a holiday early in one Gregorian year can return before it ends.
