The 15^th night of the month of Shahban is called Shah-e-Barat. The meaning of the Shab is night and the meaning of the Barat is reckoning of deeds. That night Muslins repent their sins many muslins are saved from hell by the mercy of Allah, this is why this night is known as Shab-e-Barat This night also called Lailah-ul-Qadr which means the night of blessings.

Hazrat Atta bin Yassar R.A says that there is no better night than the night of Shah-e-Barat. Allah says, “This is the kind of bright book that we have sent down in that blessed night.” Indeed we are warners. In this night Allah and his angels prepared the list of the names of all livings and dead peoples and also the all pilgrims and there is no change in it.

Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said that all those born and to be dead on the night are decided on the actions and provision of all people. Allah Almighty give the list to Malik-ul-Mout of all death and says that the soul of these people is to be captured at the appointed time next year.

And that night people are engaged in worship and are seeking forgiveness for their sins and demanding sustenance. Hazrat Abu-Bakr Siddiq says that night Allah Almighty falls on the heavens and to forgive everyone except the polytheists and the malicious ones this night is the night to accept prayers.

Hazrat Ali (R.A) said that “Allah Almighty says that anyone who want forgiveness which should i forgive him and also said that anyone who want sustenance which I should give sustenance anyone want to relieve from trouble which i should protect him from trouble this announcement is happening till the Azan of Fajar.

In this night the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was also engaged in worship of Allah and encouraged others. The incident of Hazrat Hasan Basri is that when he came out after worship all night, his face was like that after being buried from the grave. And the people asked about that reason then Hazrat Hasan Barsi told them my example is as if the boat drowned in the middle of the sea and there is no shop to survive.

Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) said that “I did not see the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) fasting more than the month of Ramadan besides Ramadan. The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) keep fast for a few days of Shahban and said that Shahban is my month and the month of Ramadan is for my Ummah. And the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) also said that in this night Allah Almighty give the list to Hazrat Gabriel of all dead and living so i prefer when my name is written on that list i am in the stage of fasting.
