Holy Shab-e-Barat observed with religious fervour
The holy Shab-e-Barat, the night of fortune and forgiveness, was observed in Bangladesh on Friday with religious fervour.
Shab-e-Barat is observed on the 15th night of the Arabic month of Shaban. Shab-e-Barat is regarded as a significant occasion during which Muslims pray to Allah and beg for forgiveness for their transgressions.
It is thought to absolve them of their sins and bestow upon them good fortune for the entire year.
Muslim devotees offered special prayers and recited from the Holy Quran seeking divine blessings for the wellbeing of mankind and to save people from the fatal onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic.
