Shab-e-Qadr, the night of power and blessings, was observed across the country with religious fervour.

The mosques across the country reverberated with the recitation of the holy Quran on Saturday night.

Muslims across the world observe the religious gathering of Shab-e-Qadr, known as the night of blessing and power on the 27th of Ramadhan every year.

The blessed night of Shab-e-Qadr is considered the most important night in the Islamic calendar where Muslims spend the whole night attending the religious gathering and praying all night till dawn.

Preachers and religious scholars highlighted the teachings of Islam and various aspects of the life of the Prophet and urged Muslims to follow the same.

This is one of the holiest and most blessed nights when the believers seek Forgiveness of Allah and His Mercy. According to some Ulema, the night is likely to occur on one of the odd nights on the last ten days of Ramadan and most likely to be the 27th. The night has special significance for the Muslims in which angels descend on the earth with the order of Allah Almighty for the welfare of faithful till dawn of the day.

The faithful offer collective prayers to seek Allah’s forgiveness and divine worship throughout the night till Sehri.

After Taraweeh prayers, Waz-mahfil, milad and doa-mahfil and special munajat were organized at all mosques of the country including National Mosque.

Islamic Foundation also arranged the Dua Mahfil and discussion titled "Importance and significance of the Holy Shab-e-Qadr" on Saturday evening.

Thousands of devotees also participated in the night-long prayers across major religious places. Religious scholars gave sermons on the teaching of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and pressed upon the importance of charity during the holy month of Ramadhan.

The night holds special importance to Muslims across the world as the first verses of the Holy Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) during this night.
