Shab-e-Barat : Information and Wishes
Basic Details of Shab-e-Barat :
Every year, Shab-e-Barat is observed on the night between the 14 and 15 of Sha'aban, the eighth month of the Islamic calendar. In Islam,
Shab-e-Barat means the night of forgiveness, fortune or Day of Atonement. It is considered to be the night when God forgives all the sinners.
The festival falls in the run-up to Ramzan and this year, the month began on April 18.
Shab-e-Barat is also widely known as Bara'a Night and Mid-Sha'ban. In the Arab world, it's referred to as Laylat al-Bara'at. Muslims believe that on Shab-e Barat, God writes their destinies for the coming year, after taking into account their past actions. This is why the night is spent in asking for his mercy for any transgression. In various places, it is a common practice to offer prayers to Allah for forgiveness on behalf of the deceased. This is why people also visit graves of their loved ones, and offer prayers and light candles at the graves. The Holy Quran is recited whole-heartedly and the believers also fast on the day after the Shab-e-Barat night. While some others hand out food and gifts to their neighbours, and the poor.
The date of Shab-e-Barat is also celebrated as the birthday of Muhammad al-Mahdi, who is commemorated as the twelfth imam of Shia Muslims. He is considered to be the saviour of mankind. His birthday is celebrated by Shia Muslims with joyous displays of fireworks.
The occurrence and importance of worship and asking for Allah's forgiveness is from Quran and Sunnah and Hadith. Refer to Surah Ad Dukhaan 44:3-5. There are clear instructions and descriptions for Layla-tul-Qadar and Layla-Isf-Shabaan or Shab-e -Barat.
