Minister of Interior Magdy Abdel Ghaffar sent a cable of greetings on Saturday to President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on the occasion of Israa and Miraj anniversary.

Israa and Miraj is observed on the 27th day of Rajab on the Islamic calendar and refers to the miraculous journey that Prophet Muhammad undertook from Mecca to Jerusalem in one night.

It was also the night when prayer was commanded for all Muslims.
