Holy Shab-e-Qadr observed

The holy Shab-e-Qadr or Lailatul Qadr, superior to thousand nights as per the holy Quran, was  observed on Thursday night across the country with due religious fervour and solemnity.

According to the holy Quran, the night is better than 1,000 nights as the angels and the spirit descend therein, by the permission of Almighty Allah with all decrees.

This is one of the holiest and most blessed nights which is likely to occur on one of the odd number nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan and most likely to be the 27th of the holy month.

The Muslim devotees are passing the night offering special prayers, reciting from the Holy Quran, holding milad mahfil, zikr, and other religious rituals, seeking blessings of the Almighty Allah for long life, peace, progress for themselves, their families, relatives, friends as well as the nation and the Muslim Ummah. 

Special prayer and sermons were held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque and other mosques across the country on the holy night.

Devotees also visited graveyards to seek eternal blessings for the departed souls of their near and dear ones.

To the Muslims, the entire month of Ramadan is a period of spiritual training. Besides fasting, they devote themselves to praying, recitation from the holy Quran and offering charity.
