The Islamic month of Shaban began in Pakistan on January 31, following the sighting of the moon on Thursday. The Ruet-e-Hilal Committee confirmed the moon sighting after reviewing testimonies from across the country.
The 15th night of Shaban, known as Shab-e-Barat, will be observed on February 13. This night, often called the Night of Forgiveness, holds religious significance, as Muslims spend the night in prayers, seeking blessings, forgiveness, and peace.
