This week we will mention a few benefits related to the month of Ramadhan & the month of Sha'ban insha Allah..

Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Baqarah (The Cow) - 2:183

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

“O you who believe, observing the fast is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become pious.”

1 Hadith

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would fast until we said he will never break his fast, and he would not fast until we said he would never fast. I did not see the Prophet complete an entire month of fasting except for Ramadan, and I did not see him complete more voluntary fasts than in the month of Sha’ban.

Reflection Point:

The days are drawing closer and the holy month of Ramadhan is fast approaching. We have now entered into the month of Sha'ban, where the prophet ﷺ would complete more voluntary fasts than in any other month. So what does that mean for us? It means, we should encourage ourselves and those around us to fast in the month of Sha'ban insha Allah.

Let’s stop and and really think about how fasting is viewed in todays society.

In today's society, how often do we see fitness trainers or health conscious people talking about the benefits of fasting, which they call intermittent, abstaining from food and drink for certain stretches of the day, as though it is something new? Muslims have been doing this for more than 1,300 years, not including the nations that came before us!

So let’s get focused, appreciate our deen, utilize our time, plan ahead and meet the month prepared insha Allah.
