[quote]No student1, Shab e Barat is the night of 15th Shaban, and it is thought that this night is very special because destinies are made by Allah on this night.
What your refferring to is 12 of Rabi-ul-Awal.

And like you said celebrating birthday of Prophet (PBUH) is a concept prevailing in sub continent only, same is with Shab e Barat. Except for Indo-Pak, nobody else in the world observe any such thing. If it were something practiced by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then it would be known and followed all over the Muslim world.
Those who say that Allah determines what going to happen with us in the coming year on this night are contradicting a very basic belief in Allah, i.e He is the all knowing. Allah knew what was going to happen with us before He created us. Why does He have to decide our future every year?
Another thing that needs to be mentioned here is that His foreknowledge does not in anyway deprive us of our free will, it is indeed us who choose our paths, but Allah already knows what we will choose.
And I'm not saying that we shouldn't pray and do ibbadat, of course we should nobody is denying that, but the thing is why only on 15th of Shaban. There's nothing special about this night, it's just a normal night, why not stay up late and worship Him on 16th or 14th, or anyother day of any month?[/quote]
