Shaban Is the Month in Which Deeds are Raised to Allah

 *Shaban Is the Month in Which Deeds are Raised to Allah*


On the authority of Osama bin Zeid, he said: “'O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting any month as much as in Shaban.' He said: *'That is a month to which people do not pay much attention, between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are taken up to the Lord of the worlds, and I like that my deeds be taken up when I am fasting.'”*

[Narrated by An-Nasa'i in Sunnan (2357), Ahmed (36/85) and al-Albani graded it as a Hasan hadeeth in Tammam Al-Minna (412)]


The deeds of the year are raised to Allah in Shaban, and the deeds of the week are raised to Allah on Mondays and Thursdays, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: *“The deeds of people are presented every week on two days, Mondays and Thursdays. Every believing servant would be granted pardon except the one in whose (heart) there is grudge against his brother, it would be said: Leave them and put them off until they reach a reconciliation.”* 

[Narrated by a Muslim (2565) on the authority of Abu Hurairah]


Those who have in their heart hatred, grudges and hostility must make sure to cleanse and purify their heart so that Allah forgives their sins and pardons them. Those who reach high status and credit with Allah do so only due to the purity of their chests, they do not reach such status due to fasting, prayer, charity or seeking forgiveness, but rather due to safeguarding their hearts. Sheikh Ibn Baz was asked: Oh Sheikh, why do people near and far love you so much? The Sheikh tried to avoid answering , but he insisted and finally the Shaikh said: I don’t know except that I don’t hold anything in my heart.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...
