Srinagar- Thousands of devotees are expected to throng shrines and mosques across Kashmir for special prayers on Me’raj-e-Alam, believed to be the night in which the Prophet of Islam (Pbuh) embarked on the famous night journey and ascension.
The biggest congregation is expected at Dargah Hazratbal here where thousands of devotees are likely to attend to have a glimpse of the holy relic of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) after five-time prayers. Hundreds of people also participated in night-long prayers.
Local administration has made special arrangements including for management of traffic to ensure smooth movement. Similar congregational prayers are expected in many other shrines in the valley include Jinab Sahib Soura, Aasar-i-Sharief Shahri Kailshpora, Aasar-i-Sharief Lal Bazar, Khanqah-e-Mualla, Dastgeer Sahib Khanyar, Makhdoom sahib Kohimaran and Ziyarat Syed Saib Sonwar.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has extended his greetings on the eve of Shab-e-Me’raj.
