Holy Shab-e-Barat on May 22 night
The holy Shab-e-Barat will be observed in the country on May 22 with due religious fervour.
The announcement was made by the National Moon Sighting Committee as the Shaban moon was not sighted on Saturday evening.
A meeting was held at the Islamic Foundation’s Baitul Mukarram office with Religious Affairs joint secretary M Amzad Ali in the chair.
Different Islamic organisations have chalked out elaborate programmes, including milad mahfils, on the occasion.
On 15th of Arabic month of Shaban every year, the Muslims observe the Shab-e-Barat.
The Muslim devotees offer special prayers all the night in mosques and homes seeking blessings of Allah for the welfare of the entire nation and the Muslim Ummah.
According to Muslim belief, Shab-e-Barat is the night when Allah arranges the affairs of the following year. On Shab-e-Barat, Allah writes the destinies of all the creations for the coming year by taking into account their past deeds.
