Holy Shab-e-Qadr tomorrow night
DHAKA, May 31, 2019 (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).
Special prayers and sermons will be held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque
and other mosques across the country at the holy night.
The Islamic Foundation will organise a waz mahfil (sermon session) and
milad mahfil at Baitul Mukarram on the occasion.
Muhammad Nizam Uddin, assistant director of Islamic Foundation, told BSS
that the country is set to observe the holy Shab-e-Qadr tomorrow night.
After Johor prayers, sermon session and milad mahfil on “the importance
and significance of the holy Shab-e-Qadr” will be held at Baitul Mukarram
National Mosque, he added.
On the occasion, Sunday will be public holiday.
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.
The devout Muslims traditionally observe the occasion through nightlong
special prayers, milad, Quran Khwani, religious discussions at mosques and in
their houses at 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.
