Muslim devotees spent the night seeking divine blessings for peace and progress of the country as well as the Muslim Ummah, UNB reports.
According to the holy Quran, this is superior to 1,000 nights as the Quran was revealed to greatest Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) in this glorified night to show mankind the path of worldly and eternal emancipation.
The devout Muslims usually pass the night offering special prayers, recitation from the holy Quran, holding milad mahfil, zikr and other religious rituals at mosques and in their houses.
They also visit graveyards to seek divine blessings for the departed souls of their near and dear ones.
