15th night of Sha'baan
Hadhrut Aa-ishah [radhiallaahu anhu] relates that the Nabiy once inquired from her: `Are you aware of the virtue of this night, (meaning the middle night of Sha-baan)?’ She asked: `What is the significance O Rasool of Allaah?’ He then said: `It is on this night that each one of the sons of Aadam who shall be born is determined, and each one of the sons of Aadam to die that year is fixed. It is on this night that the deeds of every person is presented, and their sustenance apportioned’.

The blessed companion Usama ibn Zaid, Radi-Allahu anhu, reports that he asked Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam: "Messenger of Allah, I have seen you fasting in the month of Sha'ban so frequently that I have never seen you fasting in any other month." Prophet Muhammad, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, replied: "That (Sha'ban) is a month between Rajab and Ramadan which is neglected by many people. And it is a month in which an account of the deeds (of human beings) is presented before the Lord of the universe, so, I wish that my deeds be presented at a time when I am in a state of fasting."

Reproach For Not Adding "In Sha' Allah" When Making a Promise
People of high rank are rebuked even for things that seem minor. Being the best of creation, Rasulullah ﷺ was chided by Allah even for omittin a non-obligatory act. A person can never be cartain of the duration of his life and can die before he can fulfil his promises. Even if he lives, he still cannot be certain whether he will be able to conclude the intended act. He should therefore add "Insha'Allah" to every promise. "Insha'Allah" should not be added because a person intends to breach the promise.

RAMADHAAN TREATS
Although the soup is often a meal onto itself, other dishes are also traditionally present, making the meal a multi-course one. Fried foods, such as the Tunisian boreek which are spring rolls stuffed with chicken, eggs, cheese, potatoes and spices, are common almost every day for iftar. Zelabaya, much like the Pakistani and Indian jalebi, maqrood, which is made out of semolina and dates, and other donut-like sweets dipped in honey are desserts eaten only in Ramadhaan or other special occasions, such as Eid, Amr said.

The month of Ramadhan is not like any other month; its purpose is to rid man of those habits which he has accumulated throughout the rest of the year. It is a month that prepares man for the remaining eleven months by teaching him discipline and self control. Thus, Allah has made some acts which are beloved to man, like eating, drinking and fulfilling one’s desires, Haraam. If man can control these desires in this month, which are usually permissible for him, then he can surely control himself from other desires which are not permissible throughout the remaining months.

Question

 


 

 

I heard reading this three surahs at night regularly will enable an angle on the day of judgement will announce “who are the inhabitants of jannatul ferdous” Could you please very reading the same virtue in light of hadith?

 

 

Answer

 

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhwa-barakātuh.


We have not found any Hadith which states the virtue of reading these three surahs collectively. However, each surah individually has its own virtue. For example, Surah Waaq’ah, Nabi (Sallalaahu alayhi wassalm) said: That person who reads Surah Waaqi’ah every night will be saved from poverty[1] .

Surah Ar Rahmaan, Once Nabi (sallalaahu alayhi wassalm) came to the Sahaaba (Radiyallah hu anhum) and begun reading Sarah Ar Rahmaan from the beginning till the end. The Sahaaba (Radiyallah hu anhum) remaind silent. Thereafter, Nabi ( sallaahu alayhi wassalm) said: “I read Surah Ar Rahmaan to the jinn on the night of jinn, when I came to the aayat فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِ

they gave a better response than you people”, “they said, there is no bounty from our Rabb that we reject”[2].

Surah Hadeed, Before sleeping Nabi (sallalaahu alayhi wassalm) would recite the Musbbihaat (Surah Hadeed). Nabi ( sallaahu alayhi wassalm) said: “In it there is an aayat which is more virtuous than a thousand aayats”[3]. (Tafseer Ibn Katheer, Vol 4, Aaraam Baagh Karachi)
