what important event occurs on the 22 of august in the Muslim culture?

Answer 1

There are three issues that coincide on the Muslim calendar with August 22, 2006. (Muslims use a lunar calendar with a shorter year so the dates do not correspond each year)

1. It will mark the anniversary of a sacred event on the Islamic calendar: The 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427CE (632 A.D.) is the day when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad (miraj) on the legendary winged horse Buraq, first to "the farthest mosque," (in Jerusalem) and then to heaven and back. Islam has its own lunar calendar so that Islamic holidays correspond to different dates each year on the Gregorian calendar.

2. This date roughly coincides with another event 240 years earlier — the conquest of Jerusalem by the Muslim warrior Saladin, the arch-enemy of the crusaders.

3. It is perhaps the date that the Mahdi, (the guided one, the 12th Imam) is expected to appear (zuhur). Shiites believe Imam Mahdi will bring with him a new period of Islamic justice.

Lailat al Miraj (27 Rajab, 22 August 2006)
The festival is celebrated by telling the story of how the Prophet Muhammad was visited by two archangels while he was asleep, who purified his heart and filled him with knowledge and faith.

According to Islamic tradition, the Prophet travelled from Mecca to Quds (Jerusalem) in a single night on a strange winged creature called Buraq. From Quds he ascended into heaven lighting up the skies over the holy city in his wake. The divine white light that over Quds spread over the whole world.

Finally, the solar eclipse that occurred on March 29, 2006 was visible in most of the Arab world (Europe, Asia and Africa) and may have had prophetic significance. There is mention of an eclipse that heralds the appearance (zuhur) of the Mahdi.

The Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar are considered to be sacred months. Following the Islamic calendar and the Qur'an, the 7th month of Rahab ends on August 24, 2006 The 11th month, Dhul-Qi'dah begins November 22, 2006, the period between these dates would be a time permissible for aggressive jihad.

Qur'an Sira Barã´ah 9:5
Once the Sacred Months are past, (and they refuse to make peace) you may kill (fight and slay)the pagans (idol worshipers) when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. (and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war); If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go (open the way for them). Allah is Forgiver, Most Merciful. (Khalifa translation)

After the sacred months, (the grace period of four months) have expired, slay them wherever you find them. Seize them, besiege them and lie in ambush for them at all possible places. But if they repent, establish ‘salat’, and pay the ‘zakat’, then let them go their way. Of course, Allah is the most Forgiving and the most Merciful. (Munir Munshey translation)

فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الْأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدْتُمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُوا لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ فَإِنْ تَابُوا وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَوةَ وَءاتَوْا الزَّكَوةَ فَخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
Fa-itha insalakha al-ashhuru alhurumu faoqtuloo almushrikeena haythu wajadtumoohum wakhuthoohum waohsuroohum waoqAAudoo lahum kulla marsadin fa-in taboo waaqamoo alssalata waatawoo alzzakata fakhalloo sabeelahum inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun
