Welcome Sha'ban Remarks!
As Salaamu Alaykum Dear Beloved ISB Community,
We hope and pray that you and your family are doing extremely well. We would like to inform your that tomorrow, Friday Jan 31, 2025, will be the commencement of the great month of Shaban. It is a month with high aspirations, tremendous rewards, and of course with many blessings that are hidden in it. What is surprising is that most people are heedless from this great month of Islam due to its actual existence between two major months in Rajab and Ramadan.
However, as our beloved , told us time and again there are enormous virtue that is associated with this month. The following are three things you should keep in mind:
1. Our deeds are raised to God Almighty SWT. We should hasten ourselves to gain the treasures of Allah through acting on good deeds and preventing our Nafs from evil and disobedience. Take advantage of it by doing these!
-
DONATE to your Masjid
-
Feed the Hungry
-
Take care of an orphan
-
Connect back with your family
-
Pray regularly at the Masjid
2.The Prophet Used to Fast Most of Shaban. It was the etiquette of the Prophet for fasting this great month And Aisha says, That He fasted more times than any other month outside of Ramadan. - Bukhari.
Dear beloved members of our community, lets make sure that we make this Shaban useful and memorable to all of us. We ask Allah to bless us in Rajab and Shaban and make us reach the great month of Ramadan. And forgive all of our sins. Ameen!
