Shab-e-Baraat (Laylatul Nifsul Shaban) is the night when Allah the Almighty arranges the affairs of the following year. It is a night of worship and prayers for all Muslims. It is celebrated as the night of accountability. In their language “Shab” means night and “Barat” means “the night of assignment or commission.” It is also called by names: Sob-e-barat, Sab-e-baraat and Boraks Nigh.
Shab-e-barat is held either on the 13th day or the 14th day of Shaban, the 8th month in the Muslim calendar. This day happens to be on fifteen days before the beginning of Ramadan.
