Several ahadith speak about the virtues of shab-e bara’at (fifteenth night of Sha’ban). It is proved that Almighty Allah turns to the people especially in this blessed night as well as it is proved that everyone is forgiven except a few unfortunate persons. Those who deny the virtues of this blessed night, they are wrong. If you want to see the detail, study the book ‘Shab-e Bara’at’ by Mufti Muhammad Shafee (رحمة الله عليه).
