The night when fate is decided for upcoming year - Shab-e-Barat

We are getting to celebrate a holiday we had not even heard before coming to Bangladesh, Shab-e-Barat.

Muslims across the country will observe the holy Shab-e-Barat tonight with late night prayers, recitations from the Holy Quran. They will be seeking blessings from Allah, the almighty, peace and progress for them and their families.

It is on this night when Allah, the almighty, decides the destiny of all people for the coming year, including whether a person lives or dies,.

And of course, how can one celebrate in the Desh without food? There is a lot eating and also distributing food to friend and neighbors.

And yes, we have been blessed to have friends who thought of us. We have so much food now that I honestly believe we could survive a month without ever leaving our home for supplies.
