Shab-e-Barat Countdown
The night of forgiveness in Sha’ban.
Shab-e-Barat is in 188 days — Sunday, 24 January 2027.
What is Shab-e-Barat?
Shab-e-Barat (Laylat al-Bara’ah) is the night of the 15th of Sha’ban — widely observed in India as a night of seeking Allah’s forgiveness and mercy.
When is Shab-e-Barat in 2027?
In India, Shab-e-Barat falls on Sunday, 24 January 2027 (in 188 days), based on the expected moon sighting.
This date is calculated for India and may shift by a day depending on the actual crescent sighting — final confirmation comes from your local Hilal committee after Maghrib. Because India follows local sighting, the date can differ from Saudi Arabia by about a day.
Significance
Many scholars hold that Allah’s mercy and forgiveness are abundant on this night. It comes about two weeks before Ramadan and is treated as spiritual preparation for the month of fasting.
How it is observed
Muslims spend the night in prayer, Quran recitation and dua, visit graves of loved ones, and many keep a voluntary fast on the 15th of Sha’ban.
