About this month
What every family should know about Sha'ban
Sha'ban sits between two great months and is often neglected — which is exactly why the Prophet ﷺ singled it out for extra fasting and worship.
It is the month in which deeds are raised to Allah. Clear grudges, settle missed fasts from last Ramadan and start reading the Quran daily.
