Ramadan is just 9 days away, and it's essential to prepare ourselves for this blessed month to fully benefit from its rewards. If we haven't started already, now is the time to begin and seek Allah's help to reach this month. Let's take proactive steps towards making the most of Ramadan by focusing on increasing our worship, seeking forgiveness, and striving towards self-improvement. By starting our preparation now, we can ensure that we are spiritually and mentally ready to welcome Ramadan and make the most of its blessings. اللهم سلِّمني إلى رمضان، اللهم سلم لي رمضان، وتَسلَّمه منّي متقبَّلا Oh Allah, commit Ramadan for me. And receive it from me with acceptance. 🙏💚 #pilgrimhub #pilgrim #pilgrimage #ramadan #fasting #dates #ifthar #sehri #madinah #makkah #saudiarabia #blessedmonth #muslim #muslimah #islam #Allah #Muhammad #worship
Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani Question: Is it a sunna or bida to worship on the night of the 15th of Sha`ban? Answer: In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful The majority of Sunni scholarship considers the 15th of Sha’ban to be a blessed day and night. It is recommended to fast and spend some or all of the night in worship. It is clearly stated in the fiqh works of the madhhabs that it is recommended to worship on this night. Even Ibn Taymiyya says this. No specific worship, however, has been authentically established for this night, and Imam Nawawi (in al-Majmu`), Imam Buhuti (in Kashshaf al-Qina`), Imam Shurunbulali (in al-Shurunbulaliyya) and others have mentioned that prayers such as the 100-rakat Salat al-Raghaib are blameworthy innovations.

”For the believer, Madinah is the best place. If only they could understand its virtue fully, they would never leave it, and whoever departs from Madinah, having become disenchanted with it, Allah will send someone better to replace him. And whoever bears patiently the ordeals of Madinah, for him shall I be an intercessor on the Day of Qiyaamah.” @pilgrim.hub #muhammad #prophetmuhammad #hadiths #hadithoftheday #madinah #madina #sahihmuslim #believer #faith #Islam #ziyarat #morning #thursday #pilgrim #pilgrimhub #muslimtravel #saudi #saudiarabia #arab
