HYDERABAD: A huge turnout of Muslim devotees is expected for Shab-e-meraj, a night to meet God, slated for Saturday.

As Muslims will be awake the whole night amid recitations of the Quran, arrangements are being put in place at Badshahi Ashoorkhana on High Court road.

According to its custodian Mir Murtuza Ali Moosvi, “We are expecting a huge gathering on Saturday night. We are spreading extra carpets to accommodate all those coming over for prayers. Other amenities are also being arranged.”
Sheik Abdul Bari, a businessman, said “our entire family, including small children, will be awake the whole night. We are having special prayers to mark the occasion.”
