Shab-e-Barat to be observed across Pakistan tonight with great devotion

(Web Desk) - Shab-e-Barat will be observed across Pakistan tonight with deep devotion and respect, as Muslims engage in special prayers and religious activities.

Mosques and homes will host special night-long worship, where people will offer Nawafil prayers, recite the Holy Quran, and engage in supplications. Religious scholars say Shab-e-Barat is a night filled with immense blessings and divine mercy.

Scholars explain that while Allah Almighty’s mercy continuously descends upon His servants, certain moments are granted special significance, and Shab-e-Barat is among them. On this night, the doors of repentance are opened for those seeking forgiveness for their sins.

Ulema highlight the many virtues of the 15th night of Shaban, stating that, by Allah’s command, decisions related to sustenance, life, and death for the coming year are also decreed on this blessed night.

Chairman of the Council of Islamic Ideology, Allama Raghib Naeemi, said that Shab-e-Barat is also known as Lailat-ul-Mubarakah (the Blessed Night). He cited Hadiths encouraging believers to observe prayers during the night and keep a fast the following day, emphasizing that it is a highly significant night during which deeds are presented before Allah Almighty.
