The Holy Shab-e-Barat, the night of fortune, was observed throughout the country on Tuesday night with due religious fervour and devotion. On the occasion, Islamic Foundation chalked out programmes at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque here. The foundation held waz (religious sermons), doa-mahfil, special prayers, recitation from the Holy Quran and Hamd-Naat at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque on Tuesday night.

Besides, religious sermons marking the Shab-e-Barat were delivered at different mosques after Maghrib prayers, alongside holding special munajat after Isha prayers across the country. On the occasion, Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus issued a message greeting all Muslims of the country and elsewhere across the world. On the night, a huge number of devotees visited nearby graveyards and offered special doa and munajat seeking eternal peace for the departed souls of their near and dear ones. People also distributed money, food and sweetmeats among the poor and destitute.
