Shab-e-Barat, observed by Muslims across the world, is the night of forgiveness or atonement. Shab-e-Barat is observed on the night between the 14th and 15th of Sha'aban, the eighth month of the Islamic calendar. It is believed that on this night Allah forgives anyone who asks for it. According to the Hadeeth or sayings of Prophet Muhammad, Shab-e-Barat is also the night when Allah blesses people for the year ahead. On Shab-e-Barat, people wish each other ''Shab-e-Barat Mubarak.'' After sundown on Shab-e-Barat, Muslim devotees start their prayers with "Isha Ki Namaz". The prayer session continues for the entire night and on the next day before the azaan, Sehri is eaten. The fast for Shab-e-Barat starts after that. Devotees also believe that Shab-e-Barat is also the night when Allah decides ''fortunes'' of people.  ''May Allah protect everyone and give them a good life. Sbab-e-Barat Mubarak''
