Virtues of the 15th Night of Sha’ban

Virtues of the 15th Night of Sha’ban

The 15th Night of Sha`ban is one of the greatest nights of the year.`Ata’ bin Yasar said that after Laylat al-Qadr there is no night better than the Fifteenth Night of Sha`ban. Its greatness is due to the divine gifts that are bestowed during it.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah gazes at His creation on the fifteenth night of Sha`ban and then forgives all His slaves except for two types of people: those who attribute partners to Allah and those who have rancor for their fellow Muslims.” (ibn Majah) 

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When this night comes, we should spend it in prayer and fast the following day, because truly Allah calls out to His slaves from sunset until dawn: “Is there anyone seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him? Is there anyone seeking provision from Me so I may provide for him? Is there anyone suffering so I may relieve his suffering?”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Our Lord, Blessed and Exalted, descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains and says: ‘Who is calling upon Me, so I may answer him? Who is asking from Me, so I may give him? Who is seeking My forgiveness, so I may forgive him?’” (Bukhari & Muslim)

May Allah forgive all our sins, remove any evil in our hearts, and grant us Ramadhan in the best states. Aameen.
