Shab-e-Barat, the night of divine blessings for the Muslims, will be observed on the night of July 17, according to a decision of National Moon Sighting Committee Saturday.
The committee, which held a meeting with the religious affairs secretary, Quazi Habibul Awal, in the chair, also decided to count Arabic month of ‘Shaban’ from July 4 (Monday) as none of available information sources confirmed the sighting of the moon of the new month Saturday.
Members of the committee and others concerned were present.
