According to Islamic lunar calendar, the 15th night of Shabaan is a very blessed night and this today.

According to the Shareef, the name of this Mubarak night is “Nisf Sha’baan” which means 15th night of Shabaan.

The reason for this special night to attain its name of Laylat al-Bara’ah, meaning the Night of Salvation, Seeking Freedom from Azaab and Calamity, is that in this night the Barakaat and acceptance of repentance may be accomplished.

“Rajab is the month of , Shaban is my month and Ramzan is that of my ummah, .” Muhammad (PBUH).

Laylat al-Baraa’ah in Persian, as well as in , is called Shab-e Bara’at. It is the special night of seeking forgiveness and repenting to , remembering our past sins and sincerely settling the mind that one will never commits sins in the future.

All the deeds that are against Shari’ah must be totally avoided so that our Du’a and Istighfaar, hopefully, will be accepted.
