The virtue and importance of night evil

Tremolo: Allama Hakim and Dr. Mohammad Adnan Farooq (PhD)
Shaban has a special place in the Islamic months, and on the fifteenth night of this month “Night of innocence” is called It is a blessed night in which Allah's blessings are revealed, sins are forgiven, and good deeds are performed. The word “acquittal” means deliverance and deliverance. The reason why this night is called Shab Baraat is that on this night Allah forgives His servants and saves many people from hell. This is the reason why special importance is given to worship and prayer on this night. The Islamic Shari'ah has taught us to wake up in the blessed nights and to revive them through worship, including the fifteenth night of Sha'ban, which is called Shab-e-Barat. From the pure time of our Prophet, peace be upon him, to the Companions, the Companions, and the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, arrangements have been made to benefit from the virtues of this night in all ages. In all ages, pious people have been organizing special worship during this night. In the blessed hadiths, the great virtue of Shab Baraat has been described. It is narrated on the authority of Hazrat Aisha that the Prophet ﷺ said: When the fifteenth night of Sha'ban comes, Allah Ta'ala descends on the sky of the world and forgives people equal to the number of hairs of the goats of Banu Kalb tribe. A lot of emphasis has been placed on worship, repentance and forgiveness in Shab Baraat. On this night, people perform the following rituals. In this night, more and more nawafls are performed, because through nafl acts of worship, a person is closer to Allah. The recitation of the Holy Quran gives light and comfort to the hearts on this night. Asking for forgiveness for sins and vowing to avoid future sins is an important act of Shab Bara'at. Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) makes this night even more blessed. Special prayers are organized on this night, because this night is the night of acceptance of prayers. According to some traditions, the Prophet ﷺ visited Jannat al-Baqi on the Night of Purity and prayed for the deceased there. This shows that it is recommended to pray for forgiveness for our deceased loved ones in this night. The hadiths prove that the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to fast more in the month of Sha'ban. If a person fasts on the day after Shab al-Bara'at, it is a mustahab act, which is a source of blessings and forgiveness. It is a fact that Shab Bara'at is a night of worship and forgiveness, but it is not correct to include un-Islamic and self-made innovations in it. Some people make fireworks or consider baking halwa as a must, which is wrong. The real spirit is in the worship of Allah and repentance, not in customs. Shab Baraat is the night of mercy, forgiveness and salvation. This is an opportunity for us to repent of our sins, worship for the pleasure of Allah, and try to beautify our hereafter. Do not waste this night, but engage in Nawafl, dua, and zikr and azkar to get close to Allah Ta'ala. Rather, it is a night to sit in solitude and build your relationship with Allah. The moments you spent with sincerity and integrity are very precious in the sight of Allah, the hours are not counted here, how much this servant of mine stayed awake in my memory? And how many hours did he worship me? Rather, the criterion of success and popularity there is the sincerity of the servant, with what righteous spirit he is attached to Allah, the Most High. That is why it is better for some good servants to stay awake for a few hours or for a while than for others to stay awake the whole night. Just the main point of view should be that no one has the name of religion to do according to his intellect and passion; Rather, religion is the name of the actual follower of the Sharia, the name of following the teachings and teachings of the Islamic Sharia is the name of religion. Let us take into consideration this aspect step by step in our practical life that this is the key to success and in this lies the success of both.
