Shab-e-Barat observed across Pakistan today

Special religious gatherings will be held throughout the country, and people will also visit graveyards to say prayers at the graves of their loved ones.

Chairman Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad in a statement has appealed to the people to seek forgiveness from Allah on Shab e Barat, as the coronavirus pandemic seems to be spreading far and wide.

He asked Muslims to strictly follow COVID-19 prevention guidelines, especially in mosques, to control the spread of the deadly disease.

The Sindh govt has announced a public holiday on March 30 on account of Shab e Barat.

According to a notification issued in this regard, all government and private educational institutions across Sindh will remain closed on March 30, 2021.
