Today is Shab-e-Bar'at, one of the most important nights in the Islamic year. It is the night, where the upcoming year's decisions are written for you by Allah (SWT), and one usually seeks forgiveness from all his/her peers and Allah (SWT), in case if one's death is written in the upcoming year as well. That is why many people pray a lot this night, or keep a fast the next day.

It's "Nisf Shaban" in arabic, celebrated by shias.
