Pilgrims Observe Laylat Al-Raghaib in Karbala Holy Shrines

IQNA – A large number of pilgrims gathered in Karbala's Bayn al-Haramayn on the first Thursday night of Rajab, coinciding with Laylat al-Raghaib, also known as the Night of Wishes.

The holy city of Karbala welcomed a significant number of pilgrims on this auspicious night.

Pilgrims expressed their reverence for the Ahl al-Bayt (the family of the Prophet Muhammad) during the observance, Al-Kafeel reported.

The commemoration also coincided with the birth anniversaries of two revered Imams, Imam Baqir (AS) and Imam Hadi (AS), which occur in the early days of Rajab. This added to the spiritual atmosphere of the event.

The holy shrines of Imam Hussein (AS) and Hazrat Abbas (AS) have made extensive arrangements to serve and meet the needs of the pilgrims during the month of Rajab.

Laylat al-Raghaib, or the Night of Wishes, is observed on the first Thursday night of Rajab, the seventh month of the Islamic calendar.

It is a night of special prayers and supplications, believed to be a time when Allah bestows His mercy and blessings upon those who seek His favor.

This night marks the beginning of the three holy months of Rajab, Sha'ban, and Ramadan and is considered a time for spiritual renewal and reflection.
