As announced by the government Sunday 25th May will be a holiday (instead of the official date of Monday).

Synergy offices closed on Sunday

Our offices will be open skeleton support on Saturday.

Remember this is an occasion of special religious significance for all muslims, who will gather in prayer, so please bear this in mind on Monday,

al-’Isrā’ wal-Mi‘rāj are the two parts of both a physical journey (isra- from Kabah in Makkah to Masjid al-Aqsa In Jerusalem ) and a spiritual Night Journey (Shob-e-Miraz or Ascension) that the prophet of Islam, Muhammad took during a single night around the year 621 at one of the darkest and most dismal time of his life following the death of his wife .

He travelled on the steed Buraq to “the farthest mosque” to lead other prophets in prayer. He then ascended to heaven where he spoke to God, who gave him instructions to take back to the faithful regarding the details of prayer. His heart was purified by an archangel (Gabriel , “Ibreel”) who filled him with knowledge and faith in preparation to enter the seven levels of heaven

According to traditions, the journey is associated with the Lailat al Mi’raj, as one of the most significant events in the Islamic calendar.
