Brief Overview of the Month of Sha'aban:
By Dr. Raza Dungersi
Sha'aban is the 8th Islamic (lunar) month. Our Prophet, Hazrat Muhammed (s.a.w.w) considered this month to be his month. It is recorded that whenever the moon of this month was sighted, he would send out a caller in the streets of Madina, to announce this message for him:"The month of Sha'aban, which is my month, is already here. I beseech you to help me in this month by fasting and thus attaining closeness to Allah." According to Imam Zainnul Abeedeen(as), Imam Ali (as) used to fast for the whole month of Shaaban after hearing this message from the Prophet (s.a.w.w.).
