Mid-Sha'ban (Arabic: نصف شعبان, romanized: Niṣf Sha‘bān) or Bara'a Night (Arabic: ليلة البراءة, romanized: Laylat al-Bara’at) is a holiday observed by Muslim communities on the night between 14 and 15 Sha'ban. It is regarded as a night when the fortunes of individuals for the coming year are decided and when Allah may forgive sinners. In many regions, this is also a night when prayers are arranged for forgiveness from Allah for one's deceased ancestors. Additionally, Twelver Shia Muslims commemorate the birthday of Muhammad al-Mahdi on this date. (Source: Wikipedia)
