Meanwhile, Muslims in Pakistan and around the world mark Shab e Barat every year. The night known as The Night of Fortune and Forgiveness occurs in the lead-up to the start of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The believers observe the night with religious enthusiasm, as the faithful perform nawafil in mosques, making special prayers for unity, prosperity, and security.
Restoration of national peace, as well as wealth and togetherness among the entire Muslim Ummah.
Some traditions refer to it as the night of blessings and accountability, when Almighty Allah pronounces mass judgments on the next year’s lives, deaths, bestowments, and blessings.
