Shabaan - month of forgiveness

Sha’abaan – Month of Forgiveness of Sins:

 

Translation of Hadith: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Anas bin Malik (May Allah be well pleased with him), he said that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) among the great months of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) is the month of Rajab and that is the month of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala).  The one who respects and reveres Rajab verily reveres the commands of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) will enter the person into Jannah who reveres His command and will grant him His pleasure. 

 

Sha’abaan is My month.  Whoever reveres Sha’abaan verily reveres My command and whoever respects My command, on the day of the Qiyamah, I will be the his helper and a source of good for him. 

 

Ramadhan is the month of My Ummah.  Whoever respects Ramadhan and maintains its sanctity and does not violate it and fasts in its days and stands up in worship in its nights and saves his organs, that person will come out of Ramadhan in such a state that there will no sin on him for which Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) will call him to account. 

 

(Baihaqi, Shu’abul Iman, Hadith No: 3652, Kanz Ul ‘Ummal, Hadith No: 35216)

 

Superiority of Sha’abaan Over Other Months:

 

Translation of Hadith: It has been narrated on the authority of Hadhrat Anas bin Malik (May Allah be well pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: The superiority of Rajab over other months is like the superiority of the Holy Quran over other revealed books.  The superiority of Sha’abaan over other months is like My superiority over all other Prophets and the superiority of Ramadhan over all other months is like the superiority of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) over all other creation.
