What is the difference between the day of the Prophet’s noble mission, 27 Rajab, and the night of the Isra and Mi’raj?

The Shiite sect in Iraq and Iran celebrates the Day of the Noble Prophet’s Messenger, the 27th of Rajab, every year, as the Shiite sect differs from the Sunni, and the Shiite people commemorate this day with a number of deeds, the most prominent of which is fasting, but Muslims from the Sunni sect tried to trace the Messenger’s trace, as They prefer fasting on this day and praying on the night of the Isra and Mi’raj, because this night witnessed the greatest miracle of all time, and it is also the night in which God imposed the obligations of prayer.

The noble Prophet’s mission is 27 Rajab

Many people confuse the night of the Isra and Mi’raj with the Prophet’s resurrection, but for the Shiite people, the night of resurrection means the night of the revelation to the Prophet (PBUH). It is the night of the revelation of Gabriel with the message of the Seal of the Prophets. Therefore, according to the Shiite belief, it is the night of the 27th of Rajab. The revelation came, in contrast to the Sunni belief that this night is the night of the Night Journey and Mi’raj, in which the Prophet was taken captive at night, from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to… The Blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque In Jerusalem, from which the word Al-Isra came. As for the word Al-Mi’raj, it means the Messenger’s ascension from Al-Aqsa Mosque to the seven heavens, where he met a prophet in every heaven. Also, during this journey, God imposed the five daily prayers on Muslims.
