[GECEDEANY]

May I ask untill what time we pray tonight, is it untill fajr namaaz?

Also is it true that on this night, leaves fall off a tree to determine who is going to die in the coming year? I have done some reading about Shab E Barat and only found that it is the night where Allah (swt) forgives the believers. Please forgive my ignorance, I'm still learning inshallah, and have been recieving loads of txts about this being the night when your leaf may fall and this yr may be our/your last. I asked my dad and he said he's never heard that and it makes no sense to him, because why would Allah (swt) need to shake leaves off a tree to decide who will die, as he is all-knowing.

The leaf falling thing is not true.

But its true that its the night of forgiveness, so make istighfar. Best dua for istighfar: http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/show...-and-Magrib%29
