⁴ Note that the *Shab Barat* festival is very different from another religious observance called *Lailatul-Qadr* (‘Night of power’). The precise date of it is not known, but the consensus of opinion is that it often falls on the 27th night of the month of Ramazan. Compare Ross, Feasts, etc., 111-2, for the modern observance of *Shab Barat*. For further details, see Mir Hassan Ali’s book.
