If we look at Shab-e-Barat from the point of view of Shia Muslims, then it is believed that on this day their Imam al-Mehdi was born and they consider it as the day of birth, which is a coincidence that he was born on this day. Some people believe that on this night we should pray for our dead elders so that Allah will forgive them and release them from the punishment of hell. On this night people also go to the graveyard and pray.

Lamps are lit on the graves of our elders and prayers are offered for their forgiveness.

Shab-e-Barat according Islamic celender
Shab e Barat means the ‘Night of Forgiveness’. This night is observed in the mid of the 8th month of the Islamic calendar. It is a time for Muslims to seek forgiveness for their sins and seek salvation from Allah.
According to Islamic belief, Allah Almighty forgives those destined to die, but first He sends two angels named Munkar and Nakir who interrogate the dying person in his grave. During this interrogation, any misdeeds or sins committed during one’s lifetime are brought up as evidence against him or her. If there are more good deeds than evil deeds, he or she will be forgiven by Allah. Shab-e-Barat is such a day when Muslims can ask Allah Almighty’s forgiveness for their sins and gain His favor.
Shab e Barat Date:
Shab e Barat falls on the 15th day of Shaban, the eighth month of the Islamic lunar calendar which comes after Ramadan in Muslim countries. In Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh, it takes place on the 14th day of Shaban according to the local sighting of the moon. Muslim people celebrate this event with great enthusiasm and offer special prayers in mosques throughout the world.
