Muslims across Bangladesh are set to observe the holy Shab-e-Qadr or Lailatul Qadr on Saturday night.
Muhammad Nizam Uddin, assistant director of Islamic Foundation confirmed the matter, reports BSS.
The Islamic Foundation will organise a waz mahfil (sermon session) and milad mahfil at Baitul Mukarram on the occasion.
Muhammad Nizam said: "After Johor prayers, sermon session and milad mahfil on the importance and significance of the holy Shab-e-Qadr, will be held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque."
In the holy night, special prayers and sermons will also be held at other mosques across the country.
On the occasion, Sunday will be a public holiday.
On the holy night, the first verses of the holy Quran were revealed to Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
According to the holy Quran, Lailatul Qadr, the Night of Decree, is better than 1,000 nights as the angels and the spirit descend therein, by the permission of Almighty Allah with all decrees.
The devout muslims traditionally observe the occasion through nightlong special prayers, milad, Quran Khwani, religious discussions at mosques and in their houses at this holy night.
Devotees also visit graveyards to seek eternal blessings for the departed souls of their near and dear ones.
Newspapers publish special articles while state-run Bangladesh Betar, Bangladesh Television and private television channels telecast special programmes highlighting the significance of Lailatul Qadr.
