Woe to you! You backbite against such a person who, for 45 years, performed all five daily salah with one wudu and recited the entire Quran in a single unit of salah. It was from him did I acquire my knowledge of fiqh.^[1]

It is also reported that Imām Abū Ḥanīfa رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه would spend the entire night reciting the Quran in a single unit of salah, and weep so intensely out of the fear of Allah that even his neighbours would begin to feel emotional.^[2]

Acts of worship in the month of ShaꜤbān

May Allah grant us ability to worship Him profusely. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه We are to be experiencing these blessed moments of ShaꜤbān, a month full of goodness, blessings, and mercy.

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

شَعْبَانُ الْمُطَہِّرُ وَرَمَضَانُ الْمُکَفِّرُ

ShaꜤbān is a purifier and Ramadan is an expiator.^[3]

Let us strive to dedicate ourselves to worship during this blessed month. There are four key acts of worship in ShaꜤbān. If not more, let us at least practice these four. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه You will earn unimaginable blessings.

1. Reciting ṣalāt upon the Prophet

ShaꜤbān is the month of our Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
