Shab-e-Barat, also known as the "Night of Forgiveness," is celebrated by Muslims, particularly within Sunni communities. This night occurs on the 15th of Sha'ban, the eighth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Muslims observe Shab-e-Barat by seeking forgiveness from Allah, praying, reciting the Quran, and remembering deceased loved ones. The night holds significance as it is believed to be when Allah grants mercy and forgives sins, offering blessings and setting destinies for the coming year. Acts of charity and visiting graves are also common practices.
