Holy Shab-e-Qadr observed

Muslims across the country have observed the Holy Shab-e-Qadr or Lailatul Qadr, the night when the first verses of the holy Quran were revealed upon the Greatest Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), with due religious fervor and solemnity on Friday night. According to the Holy Quran, the night is better than a thousand of months as the angels and the spirit descend therein, by the permission of Almighty Allah with all decrees. Special milad mahfils, ‘zikrs’ and ‘askars’ were organised in the mosques throughout the country and devout Muslims offered ‘nafal’ prayers till Fazr prayers and recited from the holy Qur’an. They offered special munajats seeking divine blessings for long life, peace, progress, good health and happiness for them, their families, relatives and friends and eternal peace for their departed parents and generations. Many of them also visited graveyards to seek eternal blessings for the departed souls of their loved ones, according to BSS.
