Shab e Qadr observances in Pakistan
Shab-e-Qadr commemorates the night when Prophet Muhammad received the first verses of the Holy Quran. Considered in the Islamic faith as the ‘Night of Decree’, ‘Night of Power’, ‘Night of Value’, ‘Night of Destiny’, or ‘Night of Measures’, it is mainly observed every year on any odd night in the last ten days of the holy month of Ramadan.
It is a frequent sight to witness Muslims congregating at the Mosque by engaging in nawafil prayers, reciting the Quran, and collectively reading supplications. Through their prayers, Muslims believe that they will have their sins in the past forgiven, as the holy Quran states that praying on Shab-e-Qadr nights is better than praying for a thousand months.
Muslims in Pakistan will prepare for this holy night with great devotion and spiritual activities, seeking blessings, forgiveness, and salvation.
