Mid-Sha'ban is the 15th day of the eighth month (Sha'ban) of the Islamic lunar calendar. The preceding night is known as Laylatul Bara’ah or Laylatun Nisfe min Sha’ban in the Arab world, and as Shab-e-barat (شب برات) in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran and Muslim parts of India. These names are translated to the night of records, the night of assignment and the night of deliverance, and the observance involves a festive nightlong vigil with prayers. In some regions, this is also a night when one's deceased ancestors are commemorated.‘Shab-E-Barat’ is a Persian word composed of two distinct words, ‘Shab’ which means night and ‘Barat’ which means ‘the night of payment or assignment’ in Persian. In Arabic the day is known as Lailatul Bara'at, meaning the night of liberation.
