deeds is a sincere intention.”[1]
Dear Islamic brothers! Make it a habit to form good intentions before every action, as good intentions can lead one to Paradise. Before listening to the speech, we can make the following good intentions:
1. I will listen to the entire speech to gain knowledge.
2. I will sit respectfully.
3. I will avoid being lazy.
4. I will listen with the intention of self-improvement.
5. I will try to convey what I learn, to others.
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
O devotees of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Today is the 15th night of Shaban al-Muazzam, that is, Shab-e-Baraat, a night full of blessings, greatness, and goodness. A night filled with blessings, A night of greatness, A night full of goodness.
On this night, supplications are accepted, sustenance is distributed, and the provision for the entire year is decreed.
It is stated in the blessed Hadith: “When the middle night of Shaban arrives, then stand in worship during that night and fast during its day. Indeed, when the sun sets on that night, Allah Almighty, in a manner befitting His Majesty, manifests His special mercy upon the sky of the world and proclaims: ‘Is there anyone seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?’ ‘Is there anyone seeking sustenance, so I may grant him sustenance?’ ‘Is there anyone afflicted, so I may grant him relief?’ This announcement continues until the break of dawn.”[2]
