KARACHI: All public and private schools and colleges will remain closed on Wednesday (March 8) on account of Shab-e-Barat (Shaban 15th), the College Education Department of Sindh announced on Tuesday.

Believers across the country will observe Shab-e-Barat, also known as the night of blessings and glory, on Tuesday night (tonight) with full religious spirit.

“In pursuance of the decision of the Steering Committee meeting held on 22nd February 2022 all the public and private educational institutions under the administrative control of the College Education Department shall remain closed on Wednesday (March 8, 2023) on account of Shab-e-Baraat (15th Shaban, 1444),” the notification issued by the College Education Department.

Meanwhile, School Education and Literacy Department also announced that the institutions (public and private) working under administration of the department shall remain closed on March 8.  

Tonight all Muslims will gather in specially decorated mosques in large numbers to offer Nawafil, Shabina and recitation of the Holy Quran during the whole night to seek the blessings of Almighty Allah.

Almost all city mosques will hold special Shabina prayers but the most prominent are Badshahi Masjid, Data Darbar and Masjid Gunbad-e-Khizra etc.

Some traditions call Shab-e-Barat the night of blessings and accountability when The Almighty Allah makes mass judgments regarding lives, deaths, bestowments and blessings for the next year.

Besides, judgments for awarding blessings and Rizq to the believers are also made. To seek those huge blessings, the believers make special prayers for the prosperity of the entire Ummah, soliciting unity, security and restoration of peace and above all averting the compounding economic crisis in the country.

Most of the city mosques have been decorated with lightings and buntings and extra security measures have been made with the deployment of police personnel for the protection of worshippers.

The ulema through their special prayers offered collective repentance before The Almighty for their sins, terming the economic hardships a form of His wrath and punishment, and sought His blessings to fend off this punishment from the world.

The graveyards will be thronged by a large number of believers to pray for the departed souls of their loved ones.

The moon for the holy month of Shaban was sighted in Pakistan on February 21. The first of Shaban will be marked on February 22.

Approximately 450 Pakistanis, including 250 Zaireen, have successfully crossed into Lebanon from Syria, according to the spokesperson for the Foreign Office, Mumtaz Zahra Baloch.

During her weekly briefing at the foreign office in Islamabad, she stated that Pakistan is pleased with the resolution passed by the United Nations General Assembly on the Gaza Strip, which calls for an immediate ceasefire.

In addition, she expressed her satisfaction with the elimination of limits placed on UNRWA’s ability to carry out relief activities in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

It was stated by her that Pakistan is demanding an immediate cessation of hostilities in Palestine, an end to the genocide that is taking place in Gaza, the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, unrestricted access to humanitarian aid for those who are in urgent need, full support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and its mandated humanitarian activities, and medical assistance for those who are in urgent need.

Moreover, she stated that Pakistan emphasises the need for the international community to hold Israel accountable for the war crimes and crimes against humanity that it has committed in occupied lands.

The Israeli aggression against Syria, the illegitimate acquisition of Syrian territory, and the massive devastation of Syrian infrastructure as well as civilian and military sites are all topics that Pakistan is extremely worried about, according to the spokesperson for Pakistan.

According to her, this attack on Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is a serious violation of international law to the highest degree. By expressing our support for Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, we are also expressing our opposition to the Israeli government’s attempt to acquire territory through coercion.

The resolution 497 of the United Nations Security Council, which declares the annexation of the Golan Heights by Israel to be null and illegal and to have no international legal impact, was reaffirmed by her organisation.
