What To Do In The Closing Days Of Shaʿbān? by Lukgaf(m): 9:18am On May 03, 2019 |
What to do in the closing days of Shaʿbān? By Muftī Zubair Bayat حفظه الله تعالى Now that Ramaḍān is drawing near and very few days of Shaʿbān are left (for Sultan counting see here ). However the following should be done as a kind of preparation for the glorious months: 1. Make a lot of Istighfār and Taubah. Ask Allāh سبحانه وتعالى to forgive us, purify our hearts and cleanse us so that our hearts can become worthy from the very beginning of Ramaḍān to take the Nūr and Anwār of Ramaḍān. If the heart is polluted, corrupted and dirty, then you will find it difficult to take the Anwār of Ramaḍān from the beginning. It might be a few days or even weeks before our hearts become receptive to the Nūr of Ramaḍān. 2. Read up on Ramaḍān The ‘Fadhaail of Ramaḍān’ (by Hazrat Shaykh Zakariyya Khandelwi رحمة الله عليه) is recommended. If you don’t have the time to read all the commentary on the Aḥādīth, at least read just the Aḥādīth. There can’t be greater inspiration than the words of our beloved Rasūl صلى الله عليه و سلم. It will kindle the flames of shauq (desire) for reaching Allāh سبحانه وتعالى. 3. Draw up a timetable ( See, for timetable. All extra activities should be curtailed. It's not a month for leisure and hobbies, it's a month to connect with Allāh سبحانه وتعالى; give yourself to Him completely. Set times for various Ibādāt, giving priority and majority time to Qurʿān and not forgetting to add times for rest. A timetable is in itself it is a Nīyyah on which one receives reward. If for some genuine reason we were unable to do some Ibādāt, the reward will still be secured ان شاء الله. 4. Set goals for Tilāwah It will serve as a motivation. Doing less than 1 khatm in Ramaḍān is real ingratitude to the Kalām of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى. Events such as weddings, etc are planned meticulously for weeks and months in advance - why do we not plan and prepare well for Ramaḍān and other holy occasions to make it go smoothly and gain full benefit?? اَللّٰهُمَّ سَلِّمْنَا لِرَمَضَانَ وَسَلِّمْهُ لَنَ وَتَسْلِمْهُ مُتَقَبَّلاً For further Ramaḍān related advises visit: here 5 Likes |

Allah Hu Akbar is a warning to all the people surrounding the person screaming it. It means you have to stop doing whatever you are doing because you have exactly 5 seconds to run as far away as possible from the screaming man in order to have the slimmest chance of survival before a block of C4 denotes and annihilates everyone within a 10 foot radius. |

Well, these are recommended good deeds that can fetch you reward and Allah says in the Glorious “Help one another in acts of piety and righteousness. And do not assist each other in acts of sinfulness and transgression. And be aware of Allah. Verily, Allah is severe in punishment” (Quran 5:2). So, I did not say you are sinner if you fail to do it but only inviting you to strive to get maximum benefits of the month. Perhaps it was recorded our Salaf use to prepare for Ramadan months before the month. It is just a kind reminder. Stay blessed sir Jeposky: |

Lukgaf: OK... the Quran verse you quote Is nice, but did prophet specify the last day or closing day of shaban for doing all these act you're encouraging people to do? it the evidence I'm ask you for because it's the prophet Allah sent to teach us Islam and anything apart from what he teaches us is what is called BID'AH (innovation). so are the acts your thinking of what people should do or the prophet once done it or teaches us to do it? |

Well, I may be wrong too but i advise you do more findings perhaps if you are just student of knowledge like me. But if you are concerned with the use of the word "closing day of Shabaan", to the best of my knowledge, the author just use it as heading to indicate the month of Ramadan is very close since Shaban precedes it and thus the preparation. So, it is not meant particularly for closing days of Shaban. They are acts that can fetch you reward and that can enhance your preparation towards ramadan. waLahu ahlam Jeposky: |
