The Month Of Shaban

1.1 It is Mustahabb (recommended) to fast a great deal in the month of Shabaan
Narrated Aaishah (may Allah be pleased with her): “Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) used to fast till one would say that he would never stop fasting, and he would abandon fasting till one would say that he would never fast. I never saw Allah’s Apostle fasting for a whole month except the month of Ramadan, and did not see him fasting in any month more than in the month of Shabaan.”[1]

1.2 The Reason for Fasting so much in Shabaan
Narrated Usaamah ibn Zayd (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I said, O Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him), I do not see you fasting in any month more than in Shabaan.

He said That is a month concerning which many people are heedless, between Rajab and Ramadaan. It is the month is which people’s deeds are taken up to the Lord of the Worlds, and I would like my deeds to be taken up whilst I am fasting.”[2]

1.3 After the Half of Shabaan
Narrated Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “When Shabaan is half over, do not fast.”[3]

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “Even if the hadeeth is Saheeh, the prohibition in it does not mean that this is Haraam, rather it is simply makruh (disliked), as some of the scholars have understood it to mean. But whoever has the habit of fasting regularly should fast, even if it is after halfway through Sha’baan.”[4]

1.4 Fasting the day of doubt
Narrated Aboo Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “None of you should fast a day or two before the month of Ramadan unless he has the habit of fasting (Nawafil) (and if his fasting coincides with that day) then he can fast that day.”[5]

[The Best Guide ALQURAN]
“Surely they who recite the Book of Allah and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them secretly and openly, hope for a gain which will not perish.”

Establishment of the Hour (Qiyamah)

 

[Sahih Bukhari : Volume 9, Book 88, Number 237]

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu): Allah’s Apostle(sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said, “The Hour will not be established

(1) till two big groups fight each other whereupon there will be a great number of casualties on both sides and they will be following one and the same religious doctrine,
(2) till about thirty Dajjals (liars) appear, and each one of them will claim that he is Allah’s Apostle,
(3) till the religious knowledge is taken away (by the death of Religious scholars)
(4) earthquakes will increase in number
(5) time will pass quickly,
(6) afflictions will appear,
(7) Al-Harj, (i.e., killing) will increase,
(8) till wealth will be in abundance —- so abundant that a wealthy person will worry lest nobody should accept his Zakat, and whenever he will present it to someone, that person (to whom it will be offered) will say, ‘I am not in need of it,
(9) till the people compete with one another in constructing high buildings,
(10) till a man when passing by the grave of someone will say, ‘Would that I was in his place,
(11) and till the sun rises from the West. So when the sun will rise and the people will see it (rising from the West) they will all believe (embrace Islam) but that will be the time when: (As Allah said,) ‘No good will it do to a soul to believe then, if it believed not before, nor earned good (by deeds of righteousness) through its Faith.’ (6.158) And the Hour will be established while two men spreading a garment in front of them but they will not be able to sell it, nor fold it up, and the Hour will be established when a man has milked his she-camel and has taken away the milk but he will not be able to drink it, and the Hour will be established before a man repairing a tank (for his livestock) is able to water (his animals) in it, and the Hour will be established when a person has raised a morsel (of food) to his mouth but will not be able to eat it.”

Establishment of the Hour

Believers Are Brothers To One Another

[ALLAH’S Quran – 49:10] “The believers are brothers to one another, therefore, make reconciliation between your brothers and fear Allah, so that you may be shown mercy.”

The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him ) has said:

[Muslim, Book #001, Hadith #0096] “Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessing be upon him) observed: You shall not enter Paradise so long as you do not affirm belief (in all those things which are the articles of faith) and you will not believe as long as you do not love one another. Should I not direct you to a thing which, if you do, will foster love amongst you: (i. e.) give currency to (the practice of paying salutation to one another by saying) as-salamu alaikum.”

[Muslim, Book #037, Hadith #6631] “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There are one hundred (parts of) mercy for Allah and He has sent down out of these one part of mercy upon the jinn and human beings and the insects and it is because of this (one part) that they love one another, show kindness to one another and even the beast treats its young one with affection, and Allah has reserved ninety-nine parts of mercy with which He would treat His servants on the Day of Resurrection.”

Satan Threatens Poverty…..Allah Grants, Bounties And Wisdom

[ALLAH’S Quran – 2:268-269 ] “Satan threatens you with poverty and prompts you to commit what is indecent, while ALLAH promises you HIS forgiveness and bounties, and ALLAH has boundless knowledge. HE grants wisdom to whom HE pleases, and whoever is granted wisdom is indeed given great wealth, yet none except people of understanding learn a lesson from it.”

The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) Said :
[BUKHARI, Book #3, Hadith #73] “Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud: The Prophet said, “Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (The first is) A person, whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously; (the second is) the one whom Allah has given wisdom (the Holy Qur’an) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.”

[MUSLIM, Book #004, Hadith #1779] “‘Abdullah b. Mas’ud reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: There should be no envy but only in case of two persons: one having been endowed with wealth and power to spend it in the cause of Truth, and (the other) who has been endowed with wisdom and he decides cases with the help of it and teaches it (to others).”

Hardship A Test For The Believers, From Allah

[ALLAH’S Quran – 2:155] “We will afflict you with some disagreeable events and misfortunes to test your faith’s qualities. We will make you experience fear, hunger and loss of wealth and lives, and a diminished yield in the earth’s fruits. But announce, O Muhammad, blissful tidings to the patient and constantly persevering, unwearied in the face of difficulties and hindrances.”

[Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 4, Number 1] “The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “When God wants to be good to someone, He tries him with hardship.” The Prophet also said: “For every misfortune, illness, anxiety, grief, or hurt that afflicts a believer – even the pain caused by the pricking of a thorn – God removes some of his sins.”
