A short Introduction of Shab-e-Barat, Blessing Night for Muslims

 

Hello Friends.Today I am Discussing about the blessed night for Muslims. We believe that on the night of Shab-E-Barat ,celebrated on the 15th night of the month of the Sha'ban, Allah SWT writes the destinies of the universe for the coming year by taking into account the deeds committed by us in the past. 

This night also known as Bara'at Night, Mid Shaban, The Night of Records, The Night of Fortune, Forgiveness and Blessings.

     Shab-e-Barat takes place on the full moon and is dependent on the sighting of the previous new moon signifying the start of the month of Sha'aban. 

   We Muslim devotees will offer special prayers, recite from the Holy Qur'an and perform other religious rituals throughout the night of Shab e-Barat, hoping to receive divine blessings for the wellbeing of mankind.

 We also gather in mosques to repeatedly recite Allah's name,Nawafils and special prayers.

   On Shab-e-Barat night, most Muslims attempt to stay awake in prayer as much as possible. 

 Some of us Muslims, it is also part of Shab-e-Barat traditions to visit the graves of our loved ones and pray for the peace of their souls. 

    Many people will fast on the day following Shab-e-Barat night and some people will give out food and sweets to  the neighbors.

  May Allah SWT blessed all of Muslims with this blessing Night for forgiveness from our sins .Aameen SummAmeen.
