Holy Lailatul Qadr tomorrow night

DHAKA, June 11, 2018 (BSS) – Muslims across the country are set to observe
the holy Shab-e-Qadr or Lailatul Qadr, tomorrow night when the first verses
of the holy Quran were revealed to Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).

According to the holy Quran, Lailatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, 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 nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan and most likely to be
the 27th of the holy month.

President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today greeted the
countrymen and Muslims across the world on the occasion of holy Lailatul Qadr
to be observed tomorrow.

In separate messages, they prayed for continued peace, progress and
prosperity of the country, the whole world and the Muslim Ummah.

The devout Muslims traditionally observe the occasion through nightlong
special prayers, milad, Quran Khwani, religious discussions at mosques and in
their houses on this holy night.

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

Newspapers publish special articles while state-run Bangladesh Betar,
Bangladesh Television and private television channels telecast special
programmes highlighting the significance of Lailatul Qadr.

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.

Special prayers and sermons will be held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque
and other mosques across the country on the holy night.

The Islamic Foundation will organize a waz mahfil (sermon session) and
milad mahfil at Baitul Mukarram on the occasion.
