Muslim­s believ­e God shower­s infini­te mercy, blessi­ng upon human beings on this nightReligious festivities for Shab-e-Barat are being carried out throughout the country with traditional zeal and fervour. The faithful have organised several gatherings and Mehfil-e-Naat, where hymns are being recited. Though in Islamic perspective every night and day have its own significance, some nights have added importance such as Shab-e-Barat, Lailatul Qadar, Shab-e-Miraj, Ashura and the two nights of Eid. On Shab-e-Baraat, Muslims believe, God showers infinite mercy and blessing upon human beings. Hence, many pray for the length of the night.
