Shab-e-Barat tonight
The holy Shab-e-Barat, known as the night of fortune, will be observed across the country tonight with due religious fervor and devotion.

The Muslim devotees would spend the night at mosques and homes offering prayers, reciting from the holy Quran and seeking blessings to Allah for long life, peace, progress and happiness for themselves, their families, relatives and friends as well as the nation and the Muslim Ummah.

President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have greeted all Muslims of Bangladesh and elsewhere across the world on the occasion of the holy Shab-e-Barat.

The president wished mercy, progress and welfare for the whole mankind.

The premier wished that the holy Shab-e-Barat would bring the message of happiness, peace and development for all.

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 fixing their ‘rizq’ (livelihood) for the next year.

On the night, the devotees across the country would visit graves and pray for their beloved ones seeking their eternal peace. Many will also visit mazars, shrines of saints all over the country.

On the occasion, the Islamic Foundation (IF) has chalked out a nightlong programme at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque.

The programmes include recitation from the holy Quran, hamd-nath, waz mahfil (religious sermons), milad, qiyam, zikr and special munajat, said an IF press release here.

The day (Monday) will be a public holiday on the occasion of the holy Shab-e-Barat.
