of evil.’ The Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘Sadaqah [charity] prevents bad death.’

Dear Islamic brothers! There is a specific excellence for the Sawm of the 15^th Sha’ban. Let’s listen to it and develop a mindset of observing it.

Sawm of the 15^th Sha’ban

Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Ali کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم has reported that the Rasool of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: When the 15^th night of Sha’ban comes, perform Qiyam (i.e. worship) in it and observe Sawm in the day; undoubtedly, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ reveals a special Divine manifestation on the sky of the world from (the time of) sunset and says, ‘Is there anyone who seeks forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him! Is there anyone who seeks sustenance so that I provide him with sustenance! Is there any troubled person so that I relieve him from his trouble! Is there anyone like this! Is there anyone like that!’ He عَزَّوَجَلَّ keeps saying this till the dawn of Fajr.’

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

Dear Islamic brothers! In conclusion, I would like to take the opportunity to mention the excellence of Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Rasool of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Whoever loves my Sunnah, loves me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah.’ (Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

سینہ تری سُنَّت کا مدینہ بنے آقا

جنَّت میں پڑوسی مجھے تم اپنا بنانا

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
