The
month of Shabaan is a most auspicious one.the Holy Prophet
has referred to it as"MY MONTH" and during
this month,HE used to fast more than in any other month
besides Ramadaan.
The
15th night of Shabaan is known as SHAB-e-BARAAT,which
is next to Lailatul Qadir (27th night of Ramadaan) in
auspiciousness. The Holy Prophet is reported to have
said: "People are not aware of the excellence of
the month of Shabaan, the month that comes between the
months of Rajab and Ramadaan. In this month, the action
of the people are presented (to ALLAH).I wish my actions
to be presented whilst I am fasting."
On
this night which begins from Magrib salaah Azan, the
AMAL NAMA (record book) of a person containing all his
deeds of the past year are closed and kept away in preservation
till the day of resurrection and new Record books are
started. Also,on this night,the various angels in charge
of births, deaths, etc, are brieffed and are assigned
and instructed by ALMIGHTY ALLAH their various duties-the
names and number of people who are to die during the
coming year, births and the dates and times they are
to take place during the coming year.
DEAR
MUSLIM BROTHER AND SISTERS - the bountiful ALLAH
in HIS infinite mercy has provided us with such an auspicious
night so that we may take advantage of it and repent
for our sins,and thus obtain HIS grace and favour.it
is for us to take full advantage of this night and during
this night, offer special prayers and repent sincerely
for our past sins and ask for HIS forgiveness.
Hazret
Ali has said: "o people, spend the 15th night of
shabaan in divine worship and keep fast on the 15th
day of shabaan. on this auspicious night, ALLAH spreads
HIS mercy on the earth and calls out: 'IS THERE ANY
WHO SEEKS CURE FROM ILLNESS THAT I MAY CURE HIM? Thus
HE calls the needy ,and grants them their needs, up
till dawn."
(ibn majah)
Also
on this night the doors of mercy and forgiveness are
opened wide,and those who sincerely grieve over and
repent for thier past sins and seek forgiveness from
ALLAH, are pardoned and forgiven by the grace of ALLAH,
the mercy.
Hazret
ABU BAKR said:"on the night of Shabaan, ALLAH spreads
HIS mercy on the earth and pardons all the sinners except
the Polytheist,the Hypocrites and those who harbour
ill-feeling towards their brethren." (baihaqi)
Further,a
special point must also be made to visit the cemetery
on this night and spend a long time there,reading and
praying for the deceased.
Finally,on
the 13th,14th,and 15th of this month one must fast not
only to end one's AMAL NAMA with a good deed and begin
the new AMAL NAMA with a good deed, but also because
the Holy Prophethas said : "O PEOPLE,LIGHTEN AND
CLEANSE THY BIDIES BY WAY OF FASTING DURING SHABAAN,SO
THAT IS SHALL BE EASY AND HELPFUL TO YOU FOR THE FASTING
DURING RAMADAAN.WHO SO FASTS THREE DAYS DURING SHABAAN,ALL
HIS PAST SINS ARE WIPED OFF."
"O
ALLAH,GUIDES US TO THE RIGHT PATH AND GRANT US WISDOM
TO DO WHAT THOU HAST ORDERED SO THAT WE MAY RECEIVE
THY FAVOUR."
Ameen.

8th
Month in the Islamic Calendar : Shabaan
Shabaan
is the 8th month of the Islamic calendar and the month
in which the holy night of Shab-e-Baraat is celebrated.
Laylat al-Bara'ah - Night of Salvation The 15th night
of Shabaan is a very blessed night. According to the
Hadith Shareef, the name of this Mubarak night is "Nisf
Shabaan" which means 15th night of Shabaan. The
reason for this special night to attain its name of
Laylat al-Bara'ah, meaning the Night of Salvation, Seeking
Freedom from Azaab and Calamity, is that in this night
the Barkaat and acceptance of repentance may be accomplished.
Laylat al-Baraa'ah in Persian, as well as in Urdu, is
called Shab-e Bara'at.It is the special night of seeking
forgiveness and repenting to Almighty Allah, remembering
our past sins and sincerely settling the mind that one
will never commits sins in the future. All the deeds
that are against Shari'ahmust be totally avoided so
that our Du'a and Istighfaar, hopefully, will beaccepted.
Muslims should check themselves and A'la Hadrat, Imam
AhmadRida Fadil e-Bareilly (radi Allahu ta'ala anhu)
has given a beautiful advise inthis regard. This great
Imam said: "Verily the auspicious night of Shab-e-Bara'a
is drawing near when the deeds of the slave will be
presented to the Almighty Allah. I humbly supplicate
in the Darbar-e-Aqdas of the AlmightyAllah that through
the Wasila-e-Uzma of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu
alaihi wa Sallam) He forgives the sins and transgressions
of allMuslims. Aameen."On this occasion, it should
be the duty of all Sunni Muslims to forgive oneanother
and to make sure that whatever debts owed to one another
is settled. The importance of Huqooq al-Ibaad cannot
be over-emphasised as this is among the pre-requisites
for proper Ibaadat. I pray that all Muslimshumbly remember
this night and try as much as possible to perform Ibaadat
and other pious deeds so that their Record of Deeds
be presentedin all dignity."Finally, I pray that
the Almighty Allah assists you and I and the Muslim
Ummah wherever you may be. Muslims should be aware of
sincerity and honesty in all their deeds. May Almighty
Allah forgive all of us. Aameen." Faqeer Ahmad
Rida Qaderi (may Allah forgive him)How to welcome the
NightOn this auspicious night, you should perform fresh
Ghusal and Wudhu and perform the two Rakaat of Tahhiyatul
Wudhu. In every Rakaat, after theSuratul Fatiha, you
should read Ayatul Kursi once and Surah Ahad 3 times.Also
perform eight Rakaats of Salah with four Salaams.In
each Rakaat afterthe Surah Fatiha, you should read the
Ayatul Kursi (once) and Surah Ahad fifty times.What
to Recite immediately after SunsetAfter sunset, you
should recite "La Hawla walaa Quwwata illa Billahil-aliyil
Azeem" forty times with three times Durood Shareef
before and after. It is mentioned that by reciting this,
Almighty Allah will forgive forty years of your sins
and forty Hoors will await to serve you in Jannat al-Firdous.Countless
MerciesSayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu alayhi wa
Sallam) has stated: "Verily! Almighty Allah directs
His Special Grace on the world on this Night. Heforgives
my Ummah more than the number of wool that is found
on the sheep of the Bani Kalb". We should remember
that in those days the Bani Kalb possessed the most
number of sheep that any other tribe.How great is the
Mercy of Almighty Allah on this night that He forgives
millions of Muslims. We also realise from this that
these numbers can onlypertain to the Ahl as-Sunnah Wah
Jama'ah collectively, for the righteousfollowers of
the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali indeed number
millionsof Muslims.The visitors of this NightIt is narrated
that the departed souls (Arwaah) of the Muslims visit
the houses of their friends and relatives on this night
and proclaim: "O peopleof the house! You stay in
our houses and enjoy the wealth that we have left behind.
You use our children and take work from them, please
perform ourEsaale Sawaab. Verily our deeds have become
complete, while your recordof deeds is still spread".If
the people of the house perform the Esaale Sawaab and
Khatam Shareef on this night, then the Arwaah depart
will the Sawaab extremely happy and overjoyed all the
time making Du'a for the people.Visit to the CemeteryHadrat
Ayesha Siddiqa (radi Allahu ta'ala anha) reports: "One
night, whichwas the 15th of Shabaan, I did not find
the Beloved Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam)
in the house so I went in search of him. After a longsearch,
I found him in Baqiah (the cemetery of Madinah) offering
Du'a forthe deceased and praying for their forgiveness".
(Baihaqi)A special point must be made to visit the cemetery
during this night and pray for the deceased buried therein,
as the Most Beloved Prophet (SallaAllahu alayhi wa Sallam)
is been reported as having visited the cemetery on this
night and spending a long time therein, lamenting, reading
and praying for the deceased.To keep FastAccording to
the Hadith Shareef which is narrated by Ibne Habaan
(radi Allahu ta'ala anhu) that Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu
ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam) said: "When the night
of 15th Shabaan arrives spend the night awake and keep
fast the next day".Hadrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu
ta'ala anhu) reports that the Most Beloved (salla Allahu
alayhi wa Sallam) of Allah ta'ala said often in his
Khutba (sermon): "O people! Lighten and cleanse
your bodies by way of fasting during Shabaan, so that
it shall be easy and helpful to you for the fast during
Ramadan. Whoso fasts for three days during Shabaan,
all his past sins are wiped off". (Baihaqi) Fasting
is also recommended on the 13th,14th and 15th of Shabaan.How
to spend the NightOn this night, perform Nawaafil, recite
the Qur'an Shareef, recite abundant Durood Shareef,
Istighfaar and Kalima Tayyibah. It is also mentioned
that if one reads Surah Dukhan seven times on this night,
Almighty Allah will reward you with 70 worldly needs
and 70 deeds for the Hereafter.Do not be amongst deprived
of MercySayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi
wa Sallam) said: "AlmightyAllah forgives all Muslims
on this night, besides the fortune tellers, the magicians,
the alcoholics, those who disrespect their parents and
those who take part and encourage adultery".In
another narration, the following people have also been
mentioned:1. One who deals in usury (Riba),2. One who
wears his trousers below his ankle with pride and arrogance
(In Arabia, people displayed their wealth and boasted
in this manner),3. One who creates disunity among two
Muslims,4. The person who unjustly takes away the right
and property of another Muslim and has not yet rectified
himself.All these persons are not shown Mercy on this
auspicious Night.A humble appeal to seek pardon and
ask Allah's forgivenessDear Muslim brothers, the Bountiful
Allah in His Infinite Mercy has provided us with such
an auspicious night so that we may take advantage of
it and repent for our sins,and thus obtain His Grace
and Favour. It is forus to take full advantage of it.
During this night, offer special prayers and repent
sincerely for our past sins and ask for His Forgiveness.Also
on this night the Doors of Mercy and Forgiveness are
opened wide, and those who sincerely grieve over and
repent for their past sins and seek forgiveness from
Allah are pardoned and forgiven by the Grace of Allah
theMerciful.Each Tasbih or Du'a should begin and terminate
with the recital of Durood Shareef and one who wishes
for the acceptance of his Du'as should use the Wasila
of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Salla Allahu ta'ala alyhi
wa Sallam).Hadrat Ghawth al-A'zam, Shaykh Abd al-Qadir
al-Jilani (radi Allahu anhu)has mentioned in his famous"Gunyat-ut
Talibeen" that the month of Shabanaccording to
some narrations is related to Rasoolullah (salla Allahu
alayhi wa Sallam). So, it is our duty, as the Ummat
of Rasoolullah (Salla Allahuta'ala alayhi wa Sallam)
to love and respect this month more than any othermonth
(besides Ramadan). We should also offer abundantly salutations
(Salaat-o-Salaam) upon the Most Beloved Prophet (Salla
Allahu ta'ala alayhiwa Sallam).While we are praying
and asking for ourselves and family, we should also
remember in our Du'as the Muslim Ummah facing calamities
in many parts of the world, that may Allah Ta'ala grant
them the strength and Istiqaamat (steadfastness) in
Deen. Those weak Muslims who are under pressure fromthe
West and modernisation, may Allah Ta'ala guide them
and show themthe right path so that they be in touch
with their glorious past. Aameen. May Almighty Allah
guide us on the path of the Ambiya and the Awliya. Aameen.Short
Story of those who even read two Raka'at on the night
of 15th Sha'baan It is recorded in 'Rauze Al-Afkaar'
that Hazrat Isa (Peace be on him) passed near a mountain.
He saw a big white stone. Since it was a very different
kind of stone, he was looking at it with surprise. The
Almighty Allah conveyed to him, "Would you like
to see something more surprising that this?" Hazra
Isa (Peace be on him)said, "Yes, my Lord. "The
stone burst open and a man came out of if holding a
green coloured stick in his hand. There was a grape-tree
beside him. The man said, This is my daily food."
Hazrat Isa (Peace be on him) asked him, "Since
when are you busy worshipping Allah in this stone ?"He
replied, "Since four hundred years." Hazrat
Isa (Peace be on him) pleaded to Allah, "I feel
that you have not created anyone better than this man."
The Almighty Allah conveyed, "That person from
the people of Muhammed (Blessing of Allah and peace
be on him) who offers two taka'at on the night of 15th
Sha'baan will be better than the four hundred year's
worship. "Hazrat Isa (Peace be on him) said, "I
wish I were among the people of Muhammed (Blessing of
Allah and Peace be on him). = = = = = = = = = = = ==
==
..Gabriel (peace be upon him) came to me on
the night of mid-Sha'ban and said to me: "O Muhammad,
raise your head heavenwards!" I asked him: "What
night is this?" and he replied: " This is
the night when Allah (Glorified is He) opens three hundred
of the gates of mercy, forgiving all who do not make
anything His partner . The only exceptions are those
who practice sorcery or divination, are addicted to
wine, or persist in usury and illicit sex; these He
does not forgive until they repent." Also on this
night the Doors of Mercy and Forgiveness are opened
wide, and those who sincerely grieve over and repent
for their past sins and seek forgiveness from Allah
are pardoned and forgiven by the Grace of Allah the
Merciful. Each Tasbih or Du'a should begin and terminate
with the recital of Durood Shareef and one who wishes
for the acceptance of his Du'as should use the Wasila
of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Hazrat Ghousul Azam, Sheikh Abdul Qaadir Jilani (radi
Allahu anhu) has mentioned in his famous "Gunyat-ut
Taalibeen" that the month of Shabaan according
to some narrations is related to Rasoolullah (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam). So, it is our duty, as the Ummat
of Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) to love
and respect this month more than any other month (besides
Ramadaan). We should also offer abundantly salutations
(Salaat-o-Salaam) upon the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam). To Keep Fast According to the Hadith
Shareef which is narrated by Ibne Habaan (radi Allahu
anhu) that Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
said: "When the night of 15th Shabaan arrives spend
the night awake and keep fast the next day". Hazrat
Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) reports that the Holy
Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said often in
his Khutba (sermon): "O people! Lighten and cleanse
your bodies by way of fasting during Shabaan, so that
it shall be easy and helpful to you for the fast during
Ramadaan. Whoso fasts for three days during Shabaan,
all his past sins are wiped off". (Baihaqi) Fasting
is also recommended on the 13th, 14th and 15th of Shabaan.

Faith/Imaan:Anyone who performs 2 rakaahs of Nafil on
the Last Friday of Shabaan between Maghrib and Esha
will die with full faith and Imaan. After Surah Fatiha,

Benefits of Salat-Ul-Tasbih
Our Master Prophet Mohammed (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam)
said to his uncle (father's brother) Sayyiduna Abbass
(may Allah be pleased with him) Oh uncle shall I not
give you Shall I not grant you Shall I not award you
Shall I not do mercy on you When you do 10 things Allah
will forgive your sins: of the future and of the past;
new and old; those you have forgotten and those you
did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed. Then
he (Sallallaho Alihiwassallam) explained the taught
the way to pray Salatul Tasbih and then said if you
can pray this salah once a day, if you can not pray
once a day then every Friday, and even if this is not
possible then once a month and even if this is not possible
then once a year and even if this is not possible then
at least once in a lifetime (Abu'Dawood & Tirimzi)
How to perform Salatul Tasbih?
This salaat (namaz) is offered in four rakat at a time
and can be read in any part of the day and night besides
Zawal and Sunrise and Sunset makrooh times, keeping
in mind the forbidden times for performing Salat (namaaz).
But is is preferred before Zuhr (Fatawa Alamgeeri)
The Tasbih to be read in Salaat-Ul-Tasbeeh:
" Subhaan Allahi Wal Hamdulillahi Wa Laa ilaha
illal Laahu Wallahu Akbar "
Method:
Goal is to recite above Tasbih 300 times in Four Rakah
with the following method.
In the first rakaat, after reading Sana "Subhaana
Kallahumma
", read the above tasbih 15 times.
Now recite Aaoz "Aoozubillah
", Bismillah
"Bismillah
", Then read sura Fatiha and
a Surah or minimum of three small Ayayhs then read the
tasbih 10 times again.
Go to ruku saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar), after reciting
"Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem" minimum of three
times read the tasbih 10 times in Ruku.
Saying "Samee Allahu Liman Hamidah Rabbana Lakal
Hamdh" get up from ruku to qiyam position.
Now read the tasbih 10 times.
Go to Sajdah saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and after
reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum
of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah.
Now go after first Sajdah go to Jalsa (sitting position)
saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar). Sitting in Jalsa read
tasbih 10 times.
Go to sajda again saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo Akbar) and
after reciting "Subhaana Rabbiyal A'la" minimum
of three times read the tasbih 10 times in Sajdah again.
Get up to begin 2nd rakat saying Takbeer (Allah Hoo
Akbar).
Do rakah #2 in same fashion, but before reading Bismillah
"Bismillah
", and Surah Fatiha, read
the tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first
Rakat.
After second Sajdah of Second Rakat sit in Qaidah Oola
(first sitting) read Attahiyat, Durood and Dua then
get up for 3rd rakaat without saying Salam.
Begin third Rakat, just like the first Rakat, with Sana
"Subhaana Kallahumma
", read the above
tasbih 15 times. Follow the rest as you did in first
Rakat untill you sit for Qaidah Akihra (last sitting)
after second sajdah of fourth Rakah.
In Qaidah Akihra Attahiyat, Durood, Dua finish Salah
with Salam.
Special notes for Salat-Ul-Tasbih:
1) Do not count loudly. It will break Salah
2) Do not count on fingers or by holding a Bead Tasbih
in hand. It is Makruh.
3) You may count by pressing the fingers as a reminder.
For example if you are in Ruku. You me press pinky of
your right hand first for the first count, then the
finger next to it for second count, then the middle
finger for third count, following this method untill
you reach the pinky of left hand will give you an exact
count of ten. Use the same method in Qayam, Sajdah and
Jalsa.
4) If missed a count then make it up in the next posture.
For example if forgot to recite Tasbih after Surah in
Qayam. Then you may recite Tasbish 20 times instead
of 10 in Rukuh after "Subhaana Rabbiyal Azeem".
Missed Tasbih cannot be recited in Qayam after ruku
and Jalsa between Sajdah. If you missed the Tasbih in
Ruku then recite 20 in the first Sajdah instead of the
Qayam after rukuh. Similarly if missed the Tasbih in
first Sajdah then do not make it up in Jalsa. Instead
recite missed tasbih in the second Sajdah. If Tasbih
has been missed in last sajdah of second or fourth Rakah
then you can recite the missed ones before Attahiyat
in Qaidah.
5) If you miss a wajib in Salah and have to do Sajdah
Sahaw. You dont have to recite Tasbih in Sajdah sahoo,
since the 300 count has been estalished. But if you
had missed Tasbih in any of the postures and remeber
it now. Then you may recite the missed Tasbih in Sajdah
Sahaw now.
6) It is preferable to recite after Surah Fatiha Sura
Takathuur in the first raka', Surah Wal A'sr in the
second raka', Surah Kaferoon (qul ya aiyuhal Kafiroon)
in the third and Surah Akhlas (Qul hu Allah-hu ahd)
in the fourth raka'. If one does not remember this surah
they can recite the ones they prefer.
May Allah accept this dua' (supplication) for the sake
of the trustworthy PROPHET MOHAMMED SAL LAL LAHU ALAIHI
WO SALAM (Allah's Grace & Peace be upon him)
