Eid al-Isra wal-Mi'raj

The anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad's night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and his ascension to heaven. In Kuwait, the day is observed with prayers at the mosque, special lectures on the significance of the journey, and the telling of the story to children. The day is not a public holiday but is widely observed, and the Kuwaiti Ministry of Awqaf (Islamic Affairs) organizes events and broadcasts. The story of the Night Journey is particularly resonant in Kuwait, where the tradition of sea travel and navigation makes the idea of a miraculous journey across the heavens feel familiar. . 2026: Mar 4. 2027: Mar 23.
