As mentioned above the Prophet (S.A.W.) used to fast frequently during this month.
There is no authentic Hadith that explicitly mentions the importance of fasting especially on the 15th day of Shaban. "There are four nights in which gates of righteousness are opened, (1) Night before Eid-ul-Fitr, (2) Night before Eid-ul-Adha, (3) Night of Arafat (9th Dhul Hijjah during Hajj) and (5) Night of Nisf Shaban." These are (1) Friday night, (2) Night before Eid-ul-Fitr, (3) Night before Eid-ul-Adha, (4) First night of Rajab and (5) Night of Nisf Shaban." "There are five nights when the supplications (Duas) are accepted by Allah. Shab-e-Barat according to Prominent Scholars: He (S.A.W.) said: 'Indeed Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He, descends to the lowest Heavens during the night of the middle of Shaban, to grant forgiveness to more than the number of hairs on the sheep of (Banu) Kalb.'" (Tirmidhi: 739)Īnother Hadith reported by Aishah (R.A.) stated that the Prophet (S.A.W.) spent the night of 14th and 15th Shaban in extensive prayer to the extent that she thought he had died. However, there are some Daaif Hadiths that mention the importance and virtues of this night. However, especially in South Asia, many people celebrate the night, spending time in worship of Allah. This fact clearly shows the virtues and importance of the month of Shaban.įirst of all, there are no Sahih Hadiths or verses in the Quran that clearly point out or talk about the significance of the night. Our beloved Prophet (S.A.W.) used to fast all days during this month. He used to fast all of Shaban." (An-Nasai: 2180) "The Messenger of Allah did not fast in any month of the year more than he did in Shaban. The same is also evident from the following Hadiths about this blessed month:Īishah bint Abu Bakr (R.A.) reported that: It is a month of blessings and asking Allah for forgiveness. Shaban is the 8th month of the Islamic Calendar.
Shab e Barat is a night that many Muslims revere as the night of forgiveness, praying the whole night asking Allah to bestow them with His blessings. Nisf Shaban is known as Shab e Barat or Shabe Barat in South Asia, especially in Sub-continent, Lailatul Barat in Arabic, Nisfu Syaban (Malam Nisfu Syaban) in Indonesia and Malaysia and Berat Kandili in Turkey. This blessed night starts at sunset on the 14th of Shaban and ends at dawn on the 15th of Shaban.ĭifferent countries have different ways of celebrating this day and each has a different name for it. This is the reason why it is called Nisf Shaban. Shab e Barat is an important night in the Islamic calendar and it is celebrated in the mid of Shaban (on the night in between the 14th and 15th of Shaban). However, the exact date is subject to the sighting of the moon of Shaban, 1443. This year, Shab e Barat 2022 is expected to be on the night of Thursday, March 17th, 2022. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
