BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman has extended heartfelt greetings
to Muslims in Bangladesh and across the world on the occasion of the holy
Shab-e-Barat, wishing continued happiness, peace and prosperity for all.
In a message marking the holy Sheb-e-Barat, he said,
“Shab-e-Barat is one of the most sacred nights of the month of Shaban, carrying
immense religious significance. The word ‘Barat’ means salvation or
deliverance, and on this night Almighty Allah opens the doors of His mercy and
compassion for His devotees.”
Highlighting the spiritual importance of the night, the BNP
Chairman said Shab-e-Barat heralds the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan. On
this blessed night, devoted believers spend their time seeking closeness to
Allah, praying for forgiveness for their mistakes, shortcomings, and sins, and
engaging in righteous deeds to attain Allah’s mercy and forgiveness.
He noted that one of the key significances of Shab-e-Barat
is the opportunity for salvation. Faithful Muslims pray to be freed from all
forms of wrongdoing, immorality, and impurity, and Allah, the Lord of the
Universe, bestows His grace upon those who sincerely seek it.
Calling for peace and harmony, Tarique Rahman urged all to
renounce violence, bloodshed, hatred, and malice, and to dedicate themselves to
tolerance, restraint, and mutual harmony for the greater welfare of humanity.
