The holy occasion of Akheri Chahar Shomba is being observed today across Bangladesh. Although not an official public holiday, it is recognized as an optional holiday, and all educational institutions remain closed. Historically, the day is linked to a temporary recovery of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during his final illness, sparking immense joy and charity among his companions. Commemorating this, Muslims continue to observe the last Wednesday of the month of Safar with prayers and festivities.
