The holy Shab-e-Barat, the night of fortune, will be observed across the country tonight with due religious fervour and devotion. Muslims consider Shab-e-Barat as one of the three most sacred nights and believe that on this night Almighty Allah decides the fate of all human beings for the next year.
Muslims of the country will offer prayers at mosques and homes, reciting from the holy Quran and seeking divine blessings, and will visit graves and offer du’a at graveyards, urging eternal peace for their late loved ones.
Marking the occasion, the Islamic Foundation has chalked out programmes at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in the capital.
Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Thursday issued a message greeting all Muslims of the country and elsewhere across the world on the occasion of the holy Shab-e-Barat.
