Muslims in Bangladesh would observe the Shab-e-Barat on the night of March 7, as the Shaban moon was sighted on Tuesday evening.
The decision was taken at the National Moon Sighting Committee meeting.
As the moon was sighted, the holy month of Shaban will begin on Wednesday, and Shab-e-Barat will be observed on March 7.
The announcement was made after analyzing data collected from the district administrations, Islamic Foundation, Bangladesh Meteorological Department, and Space Research and Remote Sensing Institute.
Shab-e-Barat is observed on the 15th night of the Arabic month of Shaban. Muslims offer special prayers, recite the Quran, and take part in other religious rituals.
