DHAKA, June 13, 2018 (BSS) – The holy Shab-e-Qadr, also known as Lailatul
Qadr, superior to thousand nights as per the holy Quran, was observed last
night across the country with due religious favour 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 passed the night offering special prayers, reciting
from the Holy Quran, holding a 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.
Apart from fasting, they devote themselves to praying, recitation from the
holy Quran and offering charity.
