Fasting in Shaban

Fasting is one of the primary forms of praying that Muslims follow in the month of Sha’ban. Besides the fact that fasting is obligatory in the month of Ramadan, Muslims also follow fasting on different days of Sha’ban to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH).

Within this Holy month, the acts of a person are displayed in front of our Creator.
And thus, fasting can become a plus point for us when our deeds are presented in front of God Almighty.

Sha’ban also plays the role of a warm-up phase for Ramadan. It is beneficial in preparing Muslims for the consecutive fasting of Ramadan. To some extent, fasting in the month of Shaban is made controversial.

Some Muslims believe fasting shouldn’t be done in the second half of the month. Yet, Islamic scholars maintain a different idea regarding the matter.

Shab-e-Barat

Shab-e-Barat is another important aspect of the month of Sha’ban that is significant in Islam. The 15th of Shaban, known as Shab-e-Barat, is the Islamic calendar’s most influential and holiest night. As per the Islamic teachings, fasting is recommended to follow in every Islamic month’s 13th, 14th, and 15th days.

These dates include Shab-e-Barat as well. And it has been mentioned that Allah’s Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), fasted for most days in the month of Sha’ban.
