FASTING OF HADRAT MUHAMMAD(Sal Allahu Alahi Wa Sallam)IN THE MONTH OF SHA’BAN

Hadrat Aisha, the wife of  our prophet hadrat MUHAMMAD(Sal Allahu Alahi Wa Salam)is reported, having said: “Allah’s Messenger{peace be upon him}used to fast until we would say he was never going to stop fasting,  and he would go so long without fasting that we would say he was never going to fast, but I never saw  Allah’s Messenger{peace be upon him} continue a fast from the beginning to the end of any month except  the month of Ramadan and I never saw do more fasting in any month than he did in Sha’ban. So I a sked him “how is it I always see you fasting in Sha’ban?” and he(peace be upon him)said:  “O’ Aisha, it is the month in which the angel of death has to note down the name of anyone whose soul he must take before the year is out, so I would rather he did not record my name except while I am fasting.” Hadrat Aisha{may Allah be pleased with her}said:  ” The dearest of months to our Prophet Hadrat MUHAMMAD(peace be upon him) was Sha’ban,  which he would link to  Ramadan.”

LAST MONDAY OF SHA’BAN

Allah’s beloved Hadrat MUHAMMAD(Sal Allahu Alahi Wa Salam)said:   “Anyone who fasts on the last Monday of Sha’ban will be granted forgiveness.”

LAILAT-UL-BARA’T{THE NIGHT OF ABSOLUTION},ITS SPECIAL MERCY, GRACE AND MERITS

Allah almighty said:”Ha-Mim.By this luminous Book. Undoubtedly we sent it down in a blessed night, verily We are to warn. Therein every affair of wisdom is divided.”[44:1-3]  Hadrat Ibn-e- Abbas(may Allah be pleased with him)said,”Ha-Mim means that Allah has predetermined everything in existence till the day of  Resurrection. Book means AL-QURAN, which is a mercy from Allah and provide guidance and was revealed in “blessed night”. The ‘blessed night’ is the night of mid-Sha’ban  in which every wise and important work is decided and is made distinct. Mid of Sha’ban is the night of  absolution.”
