Holy Shab-e-Barat will be observed on the night of February 3, as the Shaban moon was not sighted in the country today. The month of Shaban will begin on January 21.

The decision was announced following a meeting of the National Moon Sighting Committee held at the Islamic Foundation’s Baitul Mukarram office, with Religious Affairs Ministry Secretary Kamal Uddin in attendance.

The committee made the announcement after reviewing data from district administrations, the Islamic Foundation, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, and the Space Research and Remote Sensing Institute.

Shab-e-Barat, observed on the 15th night of Shaban, is a night when Muslims offer special prayers, recite the Quran, and engage in other religious rituals.
