Shab-e-Barat is one of the holiest nights in Islam, observed between the 14th and 15th nights of Shaban, the eighth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Muslims around the world visit graveyards to pray for the departed souls and spend the night in worship, seeking God's mercy and forgiveness. Many believe that on this night, Allah determines destinies, forgives sins, and extends His blessings to those who seek repentance.
