SHAB-E-QADR-OBSERVANCE
Holy Shab-e-Qadr observed
DHAKA, May 21, 2020 (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 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 passed the night offering special prayers,
reciting from the holy Quran, holding zikr and other religious
rituals, seeking blessings of the Almighty Allah for long life, peace
and progress for themselves, their families, relatives, friends as
well as the nation and the Muslim Ummah.
Special prayers and sermons were held at mosques across the country
in a limited scale on the holy night amid the COVID-19.
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.
