'''Mid-Sha'ban' ( or laylat niṣf min šaʿbān'' "night on the half of Sha'ban") is a Muslim holiday observed by Shia and Sunni Muslim communities on the eve of 15th of Sha'ban (i.e., the night following the sunset on the 14th day) — the same night as Shab-e-barat or Laylat al-Bara’ah ().
==Overview== Muslims observe Mid-Sha'ban as a night of worship and salvation. In fact, both Sunni and Shia Muslims recognise this night as the Night of Forgiveness. It is regarded as a night in which the fortunes of individuals for the coming year are decided and Allah may forgive sinners. In many regions, this is also a night in which 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.
