The holy Shab-e-Qadr, also known as Lailatul Qadr, when the first verses of the holy Quran were revealed to Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), will be observed across the country tonight.
Muslim devotees will pass the night offering special prayers, reciting the holy Quran, seeking blessings of Allah for long life, peace and progress for themselves, their families, relatives, friends as well as the nation and the Muslim Ummah.
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has extended his greetings to the people of the country and Muslims across the world on the occasion of the holy Lailatul Qadr.
In a message issued on Sunday, he conveyed his heartfelt greetings and mubarakbad to Muslims worldwide, including the people of Bangladesh, marking the sacred night.
On the night, devotees usually visit graveyards to seek eternal blessings for the departed souls of their near and dear ones.
After Taraweeh prayers, waz-mahfil, milad, doa-mahfil and special munajat will be organised at all mosques across the country, including the National Mosque.
Tomorrow is a public holiday.
