On the event of Shab-e-Barat, muslims gather at mosques to mark Shab-e-Barat or the night of forgiveness in Karachi.

It is belived that if someone prays to God throughout the night and seeks forgiveness for all the sins he may have committed, he could be forgiven. The entire night of prayer is devoted to asking for forgiveness for the past year and for good fortune in the year to come.
