The Sindh Government has announced a public holiday for schools and colleges on February 26 in observance of Shab-e-Barat, according to a notification issued by the Education Department.

The decision, made during a Steering Committee meeting, mandates the closure of all public and private educational institutions under the administrative purview of the College Education Department on Monday, February 26, 2023, in honor of Shab-e-Barat (15th Shaban).

Shab-e-Barat, commonly known as The Night of Fortune and Forgiveness, holds significant religious importance for Muslims in Pakistan and around the world. Falling in the lead-up to the Holy month of Ramadan, believers observe this night with devout fervor.

On Shab-e-Barat, individuals offer nawafil prayers in mosques, seeking blessings and forgiveness while fervently praying for the unity, prosperity, security, and peace of the nation, as well as the collective welfare of the Muslim Ummah.

Many traditions regard Shab-e-Barat as a night of blessings and divine accountability, during which Almighty Allah decrees matters pertaining to the lives, deaths, blessings, and bestowments for the forthcoming year. It serves as a moment of introspection and supplication for believers worldwide.
