The night of Nisfu Syaaban

“

—

1. The month of Sha`ban is a great month. 2. In this month Allah takes the account of His creation. 3. Because this month occurs between two other important months, viz. Rajab and Ramadan, many people do not pay enough attention to it. 4. The Prophet (peace be upon him) loved to fast during this month. He used to fast most of the month of Sha`ban. 5. After sunset on the night of Middle of Sha`ban, Allah in His great mercy and kindness turns towards His creation and asks, “Is there anyone who would seek My forgiveness and I forgive him (or her)? Is there anyone who is in need to ask Me and I provide for his (or her) needs. Is there anyone who is in pain and seeks My help and I help him (or her)? Is there…? Is there…?” until the time of Dawn.” 6. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is said to have recommended prayers during this night and fasting during the following day. 7. It reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit the Muslim cemetery on this evening and he used to pray for the deceased Muslims.       Have a pleasant night of Nisfu Sya’aban to all of you.
