time. A hadith explains, “This is a month which people are negligent of. Yet, during it, their deeds are presented before the Lord of the worlds.”^[1]

In this month, the Angel of Death عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم is handed the list of those whose souls will be taken in the coming year.^[2]

Additionally, on the 15^th night of ShaꜤbān, Allah frees the number of souls from Hell equivalent to the hair on the sheep of the Banū Kalb tribe.^[3]

May Allah grant us the ability to engage in abundant istighfār during this blessed month.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
