ESSENTIAL SPIRITUAL PREPARATION
The month of Sha’ban has dawned upon us, bringing with it the emotional and passionate desire to reach and experience the blessed
month of Ramadan. Those who prepare beforehand find a significant amount of difference in their lives during Ramadan.Sha’ban was a month in which Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam would fast in great abundance [Bukharī, Muslim]. By doing this, he practically demonstrated that preparation and build up for Ramadan is essential. ‘Ulama have explained this fasting in relation to Ramadan to be like the Sunnah and Nafl Rak’ats performed before the Fard Salaah. By commencing fasting in Sha’ban, we are training and building ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually before the main month of fasting so that the full benefit can be acquired.
It is also reported from the Sahabah radiyallahu ‘anhum and the pious that they would increase their recitation of the Noble Qur’an from Sha’ban [Lata’if al-Ma’arif p.209].
All are encouraged to engage in abundant du’a for ones self, ones family, and the entire Muslim Ummah. Imam Ash-Shafi’ī rahimahullah is reported to have mentioned that it reached him regarding du’a being accepted on the middle night of Sha’ban. [Lata’if al-Ma’arif p.196].
Those who plant and irrigate their hearts with good deeds will harvest with joy when giving account before Allah Ta’ala.
We must all take care to avoid any form of innovations during Sha’ban and other months of the year. May Allah Ta’ala bless us all with the ability to please Him. Aameen🌙☄️
