Afternoon Reminder. About The Month of Shaabaan Continues. The blessed companion Usama ibn Zaid (RA) reported that he asked the Holy Prophet (SAW) “O Messenger of Allah (SAW), I have seen you fasting in the month of Sha’baan so frequently that I have never seen you fasting in any other month” he replied “That (Sha’baan) is a month between Rajab and Ramadan which is neglected by many people. And it is a month in which an account of the deeds (of human beings) is presented before the Lord of the universe. So I wish that my deeds be presented at time when I am in a state of fasting” Ummul-Mu’mineen Umm Salmah said: “I never saw the Messenger of Allah (SAW) fasting for two months continuously except in the months of Sha’baan and Ramadan.” These ahadith indicate that fasting in the month of Sha’baan, though not obligatory, is so meritorious, that the Holy Prophet (SAW) did not like to miss them. It should be kept in mind that the fasts of this month are for those persons only who are capable of keeping them without causing deficiency to the obligatory Ramadan fasts. The Holy Prophet (SAW) has also forbidden Muslims from fasting one or two days prior to the commencement of Ramadan. Abu Hurairah reported the Holy Prophet (SAW) said, “Do not fast after the first half of the month of Sha’baan has gone.” To be concluded In Sha Allah Later. We ask Almighty Allah to aid us in our efforts to please him and protect us from any illnesses in these coming months. Amin.
