Shab-e-Barat to be observed Feb 14
Symbolic

Holy Shab-e-Barat will be observed on the night of February 14 as the Shaban moon was not sighted in the country on Thursday, reports UNB

As the moon was not sighted the holy month of Shaban will begin from February 1 and Shab-e-Barat will be observed on February 14.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the National Moon Sighting Committee held at Islamic Foundation’s Baitul Mukarram office in the evening.

Religious Affairs Adviser Dr AFM Khalid Hossain presided over the meeting.

The announcement was made after analysing data collected from the district administrations, Islamic Foundation, Bangladesh Meteorological Department, and Space Research and Remote Sensing Institute.

Shab-e-Barat is observed on the 15th night of the Arabic month of Shaban. Muslims offer special prayers, recite the Quran, and take part in other religious rituals.
