The Significance of the month of Sha'ban.
The Significance of the month of Sha'ban All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. The actions of people are presented to Allah in the month of Sha’ban, so the Prophet used to fast repeatedly in this month. ‘Aa'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allah fast for a complete month except for Ramadan, and I never saw him do more fasting in any month than he did in Sha’ban". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] Usamah bin Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him, reported "I said to the Prophet, O Messenger of Allah! I did not see you fasting in any month as you do in the month of Sha’ban". The Prophet said: "People neglect this month which is between Rajab and Ramadan, in this month the actions of the people are presented to Allah; so I like my deeds to be presented while I am fasting"....
