Shab-e-Barat Kya Hai?
Shab-e-Barat, jo ke Laylat al-Bara’ah ke naam se bhi jani jati hai, ek bahut hi important Islamic night hai. Yeh Sha’ban mahine ki 14th aur 15th raat ko manayi jati hai. Is raat ko “Night of Forgiveness” ya “Night of Destiny” bhi kaha jata hai. Muslims ke liye yeh ek aisi raat hai jab Allah SWT apni rehmat ke darwaze kholte hain, gunah maaf karte hain, aur agle saal ke liye taqdeer likhte hain. Is raat mein insaan ke amal ka hisab hota hai aur rizq ka faisla kiya jata hai.
Is raat ki fazilat ke bare mein Hazrat Ayesha (RA) se riwayat hai ke Rasool Allah (SAW) ne farmaya, “Is raat mein har us shakhs ka record banaya jata hai jo is saal paida hoga ya guzar jayega. Isme unke amal asmaan par le jaye jate hain aur unka rizq taqseem hota hai” (Baihaqi). Isliye yeh raat ibadat, tauba, aur dua ke liye dedicate ki jati hai.
Muslims is raat ko nawafil namaz, Quran tilawat, zikr, aur dil se dua karke guzarte hain. Bahut se log qabristan mein apne pyaron ke liye dua karte hain aur sadqa dete hain.
