How Do Devotees Pray for Fortune and Forgiveness?
Muslims believe that Allah pardons everyone who prays to do so on this night. After sundown on evening Shab-e-Barat, the devotees begin their prayers with “Isha Ki Namaz”. The long Namaz session lasts for the whole night. Next day Sehri is eaten before the azan. The devotees start fast for Shab-e-Barat after Sehri, however taking fast is useless practice and there is no evidence of it in our holy scripture such as Holy Quran, Holy Bible, Holy Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta, etc. Muslim devotees consider that the prayer on Shab e-Barat blesses the fortune bestowed upon by Allah.

Shab-e-Barat 2025: Traditional Rituals Do Not provide Relief From Misfortune
Spirituality is the cure of all kinds of problems. Spirituality does not mean meditation, going to the Temple or Mosque, studying the scriptures. Gods, other than the Supreme God Kabir Sahib or Allah Hu Akbar, can only give fruits according to the past deeds, they can’t add good deeds or can’t remove bad ones from our destiny.
Know the Supreme God
The Supreme God is Allahu Akbar or Kabir Saheb as mentioned in the Quran. Verse 25:52 says “Fala-Tutiyal-Kafiran-ve-Jahidhum-Bihi-Jihadan-Kabiran”. Prophet Muhammad’s God tells, Oh Prophet! Do not listen to the kafir (disbelievers, who instead of one God, worshipping other Gods–Goddesses and Idols) because those people do not consider Kabir as the Supreme God. You may remain firm on the basis of the knowledge of the Quran given by me that Kabir is the only Supreme God, and may struggle (Do Not Fight) and remain rigid for Allah Kabir.
Bakhabar Is Well Acquainted With All Holy scriptures
Quran Sharif Surah Al Furqan 25:59 says, He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between Sky and Earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne – the Most Merciful [Kabir], so ask about Him one well informed. Bakhabar is a well-acquainted Saint who has complete knowledge of all Holy scriptures. He is called the Enlightened Saint/ Dheeranam. Bakhabar is fully aware about the creation of the universes.
Accepting True Devotion Gives Inevitable Benefits
The holy Quran Verse 25:58 says “Va tavakkal’ alal’- harulliji la yamutu va sabbih’ bihm’dihi va kafaa bihi bijunoobi ibadihi Khabira (Kabira)”. The Quran Sharif narrator tells about some other AllahTala Supreme God Allah Kabir, ‘O-Prophet trust that ‘Zinda’ who met you inform as ‘Zinda Saint’, trust Him, who never dies, means He is immortal, and praise Him; means He is different than the Quran Sharif narrator, whom he is telling to praise; that God. He destroys the sins of His devotees. In today’s time all the benefits are possible only by taking the Naam Diksha (Initiation) from Enlightened Saint Bakhabar Rampal Ji Maharaj.
True Way of Worship Is Solution to All Problems
Let us know how one can be liberated from sinful deeds by the true way of worship. It provides prevention from distress and diseases and ultimately complete salvation. Any other kind of worship and meditation does not yield benefit.
The Seeker Should Take the Naam Diksha (Initiation)
Yes, the Supreme God can get the devotees rid of all kinds of worldly sufferings by the Sat-Gyan and Sat-Bhakti as mentioned by Kabir Saheb. For this, the seeker should take the Naam Diksha (Initiation) from the Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj and destroy all accumulated sinful deeds. Doing so will provide relief from all worldly sufferings as well as attain Salvation. Listen to Satsang on ‘Satlok Ashram YouTube channel ‘ and read the Sacred Book ‘ The Way of Living‘.
