Shab-e-Qadr observed

DHAKA: The country’s Muslim community observed the Shab-e-Qadr or Lailatul Qadr, the night when the first verses of the holy Quran were revealed to the Greatest Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), on Friday night.

Devout Muslims have spent the night at mosques and homes offering prayers, reciting from the holy Quran and seeking blessings from Allah for long life, peace, progress and happiness for themselves, their families, relatives and friends as well as the nation and the ummah.

According to the Islamic beliefs, the night is better than a thousand nights as the angels and the spirit descend therein, by the permission of Almighty Allah with all decrees. Shab-e-Qadr was one of three most sacred nights.

President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina greeted the Muslims on the occasion of the holy night.
