Night of salvation: Shab-e-Barat just hours away

The nation observes Shab-e-Barat with reverence on Thursday night, much like the rest of the Islamic world.

As a night of divine mercy and forgiveness, Shab-e-Barat is observed by the devout, who worship in mosques, congregate for group prayers, and ask Allah Almighty for forgiveness.

The next day, a lot of individuals conduct fasts as a sign of submission and appreciation for their blessings.

Muslims celebrate the night of blessings on the night between Shaa’ban 14 and 15. It is believed to be a night of forgiving and a time when people’s fortunes are determined for the upcoming year.
