ShaꜤbān is my month
Dear Islamic brothers! اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه The blessed month of ShaꜤbān al-MuꜤaẓẓam has started; we should honour this blessed month by reciting the noble Quran and worshipping as much as possible. This month has a special connection with the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, just as he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
شَعْبَانُ شَہْرِیْ وَرَمَضَانُ شَہْـرُ اللّٰہِ
“ShaꜤbān is my month, and Ramadan is the month of Allah Almighty.”[1]
We should also recite abundant ṣalāt upon the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in this month, as it is mentioned in Ghunyah al-Ṭālibīn that reciting ṣalāt upon the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is performed abundantly in this month, and this is the month of sending ṣalāt upon the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.[2]
It is mentioned in a narration that:
Whosoever sends ṣalāt upon the Prophet 700 times daily in the month of ShaꜤbān, Allah Almighty will appoint some angels who will convey that ṣalāt to the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and this will bring joy to the beloved Prophet’s soul. Then, Allah Almighty will command those angels to supplicate for the forgiveness of that person until the Day of Judgement.[3]
