The Visitors of This Night
It is narrated that the departed souls of the Muslims visit the houses of their friends and relatives on Fridays, Eid days, 10th Muharram and Shab-e-Baraa'at (15th Shaban), also known as Laiela tul Baraa’at. This Hadees narrated by Ibne Abbaas [May Allaah Kareem be please with him] signifies the importance of the Shab-e-Baraa’at as well as the offering of sawaab to the dead by reading Fatihaah through recitation of the Quraan, Zikr.
If the people of the house perform the Ieesaal-e-Sawaab and Khatm Shareef on this night, then the souls depart with the Sawaab extremely happy and overjoyed all the time making Dua for the people.
The best benefit one can draw from
the blessings of this night is prayers and supplications. It is hoped that all
the prayers in this night will be accepted by our Lord, Inshaa -Allaah. Prayer
itself is an 'Ibaadah, and Allaah Almighty gives reward on each prayer along
with the fulfillment of the supplicator's need.
The prayers and supplications also
strengthen one's relation with Allaah Almighty, which is the main purpose of
all kinds and forms of worship.
All the deeds that are against
Shariah must be totally avoided so that our Dua and Istighfaar, hopefully, will
be accepted.
May Allaah Kareem forgive all our
mistakes, sins and wrong deeds, and release us from hell.
On this auspicious night include us
in the list of people who have been granted salvation.
And make us fortunate (Sa'eed), and
pious .Aameen ....
On this occasion, it should be the
duty of all Muslims to forgive one another and to make sure that whatever debts
owed to one another is settled. The importance of Huqooq-ul-Ibaad cannot be
over-emphasized as this is among the pre-requisites for proper Ibaadat in
Islaam.
