Muslims throughout Pakistan are watching Shab-E-Barath, the night of forgiveness, with religious devotion and reverence.
Special meetings, including Quranic recitations, sermons and prayers, are being carried out in mosques and religious institutions to mark the occasion. Academics and clergy are delivering sermons that highlight the importance of the night, which is considered a time to seek mercy and forgiveness.
Many devotees spend the night in worship, recite the Sacred Koran and Darood Sharif, and offer Nawafil sentences. The mosques remain illuminated while the faithful seek Allah’s blessings for prosperity and well -being.
According to the Islamic tradition, Shab-e-Barrat falls at night between the 14 and 15 of Shaaban, the eighth month of the Islamic calendar. It is believed that it is a night when the destinies of next year are determined.
Many Muslims visit cemeteries to offer prayers for their dead loved ones. Fasting the day after Shab-E-Barath is also observed as an act of devotion, with believers who seek spiritual purification and divine blessings.
The authorities have made special arrangements to guarantee security around mosques, cemeteries and sanctuaries where large congregations occur.
