Lailatul Qadr observed

Muslims across the country are observing holy Lailatul Qadr on Tuesday night with due religious fervour and solemnity, according to UNB.

The holy Quran was revealed to prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) on this night to show mankind the path of worldly and eternal emancipation.

According to the holy Quran, the night is superior to one thousand nights.

Devotees will spend the night offering special prayers, reciting from the holy Quran and holding milad mahfil and zikr.

In their prayers, they will seek divine blessings for themselves, country and Muslim Ummah.

They are also visiting graveyards to seek divine blessings for the departed souls of their near and dear ones.

Bangladesh Television, Bangladesh Betar and private TV channels and radio stations are airing special programmes while newspapers published special supplements highlighting the significance of the night.
