Shab-E-Barat is a Muslim festival celebrated in India and other parts of the world. The Persian words can be translated "night of payment or assignment." By most, it is seen as a night of forgiveness.
All over Bangalore tonight, Muslims will pray to God and recite the Qur’an in the hopes of finding forgiveness for their wrongs. In the early morning hours, they will visit cemeteries to offer flowers and read passages to provide peace for deceased family members.
Father, as Muslims in Bangalore celebrate Shab-E-Barat tonight, we ask You to reveal yourself to them. Confirm to them that Isa (Jesus) is more than a prophet and the only means by which to find forgiveness. Use the images of graves in the cemetery to remind them of their mortality and their need for help reaching heaven.
