The Sindh government has declared a province-wide holiday for schools and colleges on February 4 (Wednesday) to mark Shab-e-Barat.

The notification was issued by the Sindh School Education and Literacy Department on Friday and shared on the official social media account of the Sindh Information Department on X.

The decision applies to both public and private educational institutions across the province.

Muslims across the world observe the night of the 15th Shaban with religious spirit as they offer nawafil in mosques, making special prayers.

Special religious gatherings are held throughout the country, and people also visit graveyards to say prayers for their loved ones.
