Blessed month of Sha'ban
As we welcome the blessed month of Sha'ban, it's a time to prepare our hearts and souls for the upcoming holy month of Ramadan. Sha'ban, often referred to as the Month of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, holds great significance, as it was a time when the Prophet ﷺ would engage in voluntary fasting. Ummul Momineen Sayyidah Aa’ishah رضي الله عنها shared, "I never saw the Messenger of Allah fast for a complete month except for Ramadan, and I never saw Him do more voluntary fasting in any month than He ﷺ did in the month of Sha'ban" (Al-Bukhari).
May Allah ﷻ accept our efforts, help us prepare for Ramadan, and shower His blessings upon the entire ummah. Ameen!
Here are 7 steps you can take in Sha'ban to maximize the benefits of Ramadan.
