Syaban

Ma'asaalamah bi syahar Rejab,Walmarhaban bi syahar Syaban!
(Good bye Rejab,Welcome Syaban).

Yesterday was the last day of Rejab,1427 and today is the beginning of Syaban 1427. In one month's time ,InsyaAllah all of us will be fasting in the Holy month of Ramadhan al-Mubarak.

To my fellow muslims who took the opportunities to do as much ibadah sunah in the last thirty days,may Allah swt reward you with al-Jannah. To those who missed it, let us take this opportunity to do more ibadah sunnah as stipulated in our religion.

Last night ,our surau held a small kenduri to welcome Syaban. I was reminded by my elders to start reading Qur'an so that I will khatam before the end of Ramadhan.Most of us wanted to read the Qur'an but many had failed to khatam even once a year because we keep on procrastinate one day to another and one month to another.In the end ,many failed to do what they wanted to do.One of the ways is to plan,monitor and control of what we want to do and just DO IT.

Here is the link to what I wrote three years ago on Nisfu Syaban.

abe dib,

malam isra' mikraj hari tu, ada kawan sini organised buat majlis at his place. luckily, alhamdulillah, the erudite sheikh afifi al-akiti dapat meluangkan masanya untuk mengetuai majlis malam tu. dia buat Istighfar of Rejab instead of the normal yg org selalu buat, i.e. baca Yassin. to be honest, due to my kejahilan, it was my first to recite that beautifully composed long istighfar.

tapi as always, sheikh spoke at length sebelum buat istighfar tu. he translated and explained the istighfar verses so that hadirin faham dan boleh menghayati maknanya. i recorded his nasihah using my mobile, ingat nak email to abe dib, tapi file 3G tu besar. nantilah, i'll convert to other smaller format kalau boleh. [ada sesapa boleh bagi suggestion?]

selamat meraikan syaban.

Let's celebrate the holy months with more ibadah like reading Qur'an,fasting,solat sunah berjemaah,qiamullail,sadakah etc.
