Bara'at Night () or Mid-Sha'ban () is a holiday observed by various Muslim communities on the night between 14 and 15 Sha'ban. It is regarded as a night when the fortunes of men for the coming year are decided and when Allah may forgive sinners. In some regions, this is also a night when one's deceased ancestors are honoured. Additionally, Twelver Shia muslims commemorate the birthday of Muhammad al-Mahdi on this date. ==Etymology== The 15th of Sha'ban goes by several names, depending on the country in which it is observed. Most can be categorised into two general meanings: *Mid-Sha'ban or Half of Sha'ban. Named after the day's chronological position in the eighth month of the Islamic calendar: * *Nisf(u) Sha'ban ((アラビア語:نصف شعبان)), Nisfu Syaban (Malay) * *Nim Sha'ban ((ペルシア語:نيم شعبان)) *Bara'at Night. ''Bara'at'' is an Arabic noun which is roughly translated to English as either ''innocence, records, assignment, deliverance'' or ''salvation''. * *Laylat al-Bara'at ((アラビア語:ليلة البراءة)) * *Shab-e-Baraat ((ウルドゥー語:شبِ برات)); Şeva Beratê (Kurdish) * *Berat Kandili (Turkish) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mid-Sha'ban」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
