BSS, Khulna :
The holy Shab-e-Qadr, the holiest and most blessed night for Muslims in the month of Ramadan, was observed last night in the city and district with due religious fervor and solemnity.
Muslim devotees passed the night in city’s different mosques, offering
special prayers, reciting from the Holy Quran, holding doa mahfil, zikir and
other religious activities, seeking blessing of the Almighty Allah for peace
and progress for themselves, their families, relatives, friends as well as
the nation and the Muslim Ummah.
Religious discussions were held at mosques throughout the night and food, sweets and money were distributed among the poor and destitute.
A huge number of devotees also visited the nearest graveyards in the city and district and prayed for peace of the departed souls of their near and dear ones.
BSS from Rajshahi adds: The holy Shab-E-Qadr, the Night of Decree, was observed here and its adjacent areas on Saturday night with due religious fervour and solemnity.
The first verses of the holy Quran were revealed to Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) on the night.
According to the holy Quran, Lailatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, is superior to thousands nights as the angels and the spirit descend therein, by the permission of Almighty Allah with all decrees.
This is one of the holiest and most blessed nights which is likely to occur on one of the odd nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan and most likely to be the 27th of the holy month.
Thousands of Muslim devotees offered ‘nafal’ prayers at mosques and homes and recited from the holy Quran in observance of the most meaningful night of forgiveness.
Besides, they sought blessings of Almighty Allah for long life, peace, progress, good health and happiness for them, their families, relatives and friends and offered special prayers with hopes of forgiveness from Almighty Allah.
Many mosques especially Hazrat Shah Mukhdum Dargah Mosque, Saheb Bazar Boro Mosque, New Market Jame Mosque and Hatemkha Mosque and different other religious organisations arranged milad mahfils, ‘zikr-ajkars’ and distributed tobaraks in urban and suburban areas in the city.

Special discussions were held at the mosques since Asr prayer, where the Imams delivered speeches narrating spiritual significance one of the most sacred night.
