Holly Shab-e-Qadr to Be Observed Tomorrow Night
The holy Shab-e-Qadr, or Lailatul Qadr (the Night of Decree), marking the revelation of the first verses of the Quran to Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), will be observed tomorrow (Thursday) night across the country.
Muslims will spend the night in prayer, reciting the Quran, engaging in zikr, and performing other religious rituals, seeking the blessings of Allah for long life, peace, and prosperity for themselves, their families, and the nation, as well as the broader Muslim Ummah.
The following day (Friday) will be a public holiday in observance of the occasion.
Special articles will be published in newspapers, and both state-run Bangladesh Betar and Bangladesh Television, along with private TV channels, will air special programs highlighting the significance of Lailatul Qadr.
According to the Quran, this night is considered better than 1,000 months, as angels and the spirit descend by Allah’s permission, carrying decrees for the year.
Shab-e-Qadr is traditionally observed on one of the odd-numbered nights in the last ten days of Ramadan, with the 27th night being the most likely.
During this blessed night, many Muslims visit graveyards to pray for the eternal blessings of their departed loved ones.
The entire month of Ramadan serves as a period of spiritual reflection for Muslims, marked by fasting, prayer, Quran recitation, and charity.
Following Taraweeh prayers, Waz-mahfil, milad, doa-mahfil, and special munajat sessions will be held at mosques across the country, including the National Mosque.
