Prayer Times
Night of Baraat
The Night of Baraat is the night connecting the 14th to the 15th of the month of Sha'ban — one of the blessed nights when Muslims come together for sincere repentance, supplication, and inner accounting.
In 2026, Night of Baraat falls on 2026-02-02. The Hijri equivalent is 14 Şaban 1447.
What Does This Night Remind Us?
On the Night of Baraat, the servant renews the intention to be cleansed of sins and turns to prayer for family and community. Rather than unfounded claims of special worship or guaranteed reward, the awareness of sincere repentance, Qur'an recitation, prayer, and reconciliation is brought to the foreground.
A Small Step for Today
- Make a sincere repentance for your past mistakes.
- Resolve to take a step toward mending a broken relationship.
- Read a short passage of the Qur'an and reflect on its meaning.
- Offer a heartfelt prayer for your family and loved ones.
The Night of Baraat is a door open to forgiveness and mercy; as the heart remembers this, the night fills with blessing.
