Jamali said special measures must also be taken for the protection of faithful attending special prayers on the eve of sacred nights (
Taaq Raatein) during the last 10 days of the holy month.
These alternate odd nights - called '
Taaq Raatain' in Urdu- also offer a unique opportunity to Muslims to pray for and receive special mercy from Allah.
Dr Zulfikar pointed out that a large number of devotees go for Aitakaf during last 10 days of the holy month and, therefore, concrete security measures be taken at Masajid and Imambargahs, places of Mahafil-e-Shabina, gatherings at
Taaq Raats.
