Mumbai:
Graveyards and
dargahs in the city have begun telling devotees not to crowd them on Shab-e-Barat, the night Muslims visit graveyards to pray for the dead.
Shab-e-Baraat is on April 12 but trustees of graveyards and mausoleums of Sufi saints are creating awareness that the curb on crowding and not more than 50 devotees at a time will be allowed to enter the
kabrastan and dargahs on the sacred night. Thursday was Shab-e-Meraj, the night when the Prophet is believed to have ascended to heaven, and people were asked to pray at home and not crowd the mosques, kabrastans and dargahs. People by and large followed the instructions.
