Lailatul Barat
I just read your column on Lailatul Barat and as a Muslim growing up in the streets of Dhaka, it brought back some wonderful memories of festivity (Halwa distribution) around Lailatul Barat. However, I always felt bad about the inferior quality halwa distributed among the poor while the better ones were saved for neighbours and friends. What an injustice in the name of Islam that came to re-establish Universal Justice!
To my surprise, as I travelled to many other countries, I found most Muslims (except from Pakistan and India) around the world not aware of Lailatul Baraat.
