The holy Lailatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, was observed in Bangladesh on Saturday (Apr 6) night with due religious fervor and solemnity.
According to the holy Quran, the night is better than 1,000 nights. This is one of the holiest and most blessed night which is likely to occur on one of the odd number nights in the last 10 days of Ramadan and most likely to be the 27th of the holy month.
Thousands of Muslim devotees offered 'Nafl' 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 and religious organisations arranged milad mehfils, 'Zikr-Ajkars' and distributed Tobaraks in urban and suburban areas.
Special discussions were held at the mosques after Asr prayers, where the Imams delivered speeches narrating spiritual significance on one of the most sacred nights.
A large number of the Muslims stayed for the whole night at the mosques and offered special prayers. Besides, Muslims offered 'ziarats' at the graveyards and prayed for the departed soul and sought forgiveness and eternal peace for all.
Special prayers were also offered seeking divine blessings for the overall welfare, successes and good luck of the humanity, country and its people and the Muslim Ummah.
A large number of devotees also visited the nearest graveyards and prayed for peace for the departed souls of their near and dear ones.
