This auspicious occasion is marked by special prayers offered at mosques and homes across the country, signifying a night of spiritual significance. Many faithfuls also choose to observe night fasting on this day, dedicating the night to prayer and contemplation.
Shab-e-Barat, often referred to as the ‘night of forgiveness,’ is believed to occur 15 days before the commencement of the holy month of Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. According to some Islamic traditions, it is during this night that Allah Almighty, after taking into account the prayers and repentance of Muslims, inscribes their destinies for the upcoming year. Devotees earnestly seek mercy for their wrongdoings and engage in acts of worship and supplication during this sacred time.
