Ramadan there is a month of which people are heedless. It is the month in which people’s deeds are raised towards Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. I would like my deeds to be raised in the state when I am fasting.’ (Sunan Nasa`ee, vol. 4, pp. 387, Hadees 2354)

Commanding us to perform Nafl worship, especially during the night of 15^th Sha’ban and to observe fast during the day, the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: When the night of 15^th Sha’ban approaches, stand (worship) in it and fast during the day because Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ manifests His special Tajalli on the sky of the world from sunset and says, ‘Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him! Is there anyone who asks for sustenance so that I may provide him with sustenance! Is there any afflicted person who I may relieve of his affliction! Is there anyone like this! Is there anyone like this!’ He عَزَّوَجَلَّ continues saying this until Fajr.

(Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 2, pp. 160, Hadees 1388)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! From the above-mentioned blessed Ahadees, not only have we been persuaded to perform Nafl acts of worship in Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, but it has also been learnt that the deeds of the entire year are presented to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in this month. It can be understood like this as well that from the point of view of changing the books of deeds, 14^th of Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam is the last day of the year and 15^th of Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam is the first day of the year. Therefore, we should perform worships and do Istighfar abundantly in general, and in the whole month of Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, particularly on the 15^th of Sha’ban. We should make Du’a to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for the betterment of our worldly life and the Hereafter. In verse 3 and 4 of Surah Ad-Dukhan; part 25, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated:
