Shab-e-Barat, the night of blessings and forgiveness, will be observed tonight with solemnity.

Traditionally, a large number of the faithful throng the mosques to offer special prayers and Nawafils during the whole night under normal conditions.

However, due to the situation arising out of coronavirus, the people this time around will spend the night at homes offering prayers and seeking blessings of God Almighty.

The religious scholars have appealed to the masses to make diligent and whole-hearted supplications before the Almighty Allah on the blessed night for warding off the deadly pandemic of coronavirus.
