Happy Shab-e-Baraat Everyone! xoxo

Shab-e-Baraat is a vessel for Mercy, Blessing, Benefit, Pardon and Forgiveness that descends upon the people of the earth. On this great night, Allah Ta'ala descends to the first heaven and proclaims, "Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone who seeks sustenance so that I may grant him sustenance? Is there anyone who seeks freedom from his problems so that I may remove his problems?" This announcement continues until the break of dawn.

Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said, "On the night of the middle of Shabaan, Allah Ta'ala descends to the heaven of this lower world and forgives every Muslim, except a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah Ta'ala), the bearer of malice, the breaker of family ties, the adulterer, the miser, the one who is disobedient to his parents and the one who consumes alcohol. He (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has also stated that during this night Allah Ta'ala opens 300 doors of Mercy unto his servants and that the slaves of Allah Ta'ala are emancipated from the fire of hell, as numerous as the hairs on the flocks of the tribe of Bani Kalb.

Allah Ta'ala states in the Holy Qur'an, "Therein all matters of wisdom are sorted out for Decree." [Surah 44, Verse 4]. This Aayat refers to Shab-e-Baraat and it is stated in Tafseer Noorul Irfaan that on this great night, the entire year's programme of sustenance, death, life, honour and disgrace, in short every affair of man is listed from the Divine Tablet and handed over to the angels of each area on the earth in the form of a book. For example the Angel of Death is given a list of the names of those who would be dying in the coming year.
