Blessing: There are many bounties of this month, especially on 10th of Muharram. 10th of Muharram: On this day he who spends more lavishly for the sake of his family members, Allah Ta'aalaa will bestow blessing upon the sustenance of the following year.

Abu Qataada (R.A.) has related that the Prophet has reported to have said, It is my thought that by fasting on the 10th of Muharram Allah Ta'ala will pardon the sins of the past year. (Tirmizi)

Events: Prior To Islam 1. Prophet Adam (pbuh) was born and entered the Paradise on 10th of Muharram. 2. Prophet Ayyub (pbuh) was cured from his illness. 3. A way was made in the sea for Bani Israel. 4. Prophet Suleman (pbuh) was ordained King. 5. The oceans and heavens were created.(Tanbihul-Gaafileen)

During Islam: 1. Hadhrat Hussain (R.A.) was martyred in this month. 2. Shaykhain Tirmizi & Haakim has narrated from Anas (R.A) that the following verse: "Allah may forgive thee of thy sins that which is past and that which is to come . . ." (Qur'an Al-Fath 48:2) was revealed on the 10th of Muharram.

3. The Prophet Muhammed went to defeat Bani Muhaarin and Bani Tha'laba (Tribes of Bani Gatfan) in the year 4 A.H. (Asahhus-siyar)

"Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so it was ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the

earth; of them, four are sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein " [Al-Qur'an 9:36]

Meaning: This word means "whistling of the wind". When this name was assigned to this month, it was probably a windy time of the year. As mentioned earlier, most of the months were named according to weather conditions at the time. However, since they are based on the moon, the months shift about 11 days every year. So, the seasons do not necessarily correspond to the name of the month anymore.

Misconception:This time of the year was considered to be cursed as many catastrophes and calamities took place. However this belief has been proven to be false and totally without foundation (absurd).

This can also be confirmed by the following hadeeth. Hadhrat Jaabir (R.A.) has said that, "I have heard the

Prophet saying, the descending of illness and evil superstition befalling in the month of Safar is untrue." (Muslim)

Events: 1. The Battle of Abwaa took place on 12th of Safar in the year 2 A.H. 2. The Battle of Khaibar took place in the year 7 A.H.

3. Hadhrat Ali (R A ) married Prophet daughter Hadhrat Fatima (R.A.) in the latter days of Safar 2 A.H. 4. Khubaib Ibn Adey (R.A.) was martyred in Safar in the year 4 A.H. in Makkah. 5. Zaid Ibn Dathina (RA) was martyred in this month in the year 4 A.H. in Makkah

Narated By A man : Abu Salam said on the authority of a man who served the Holy Prophet (pbuh) that whenever he talked, he repeated it three

times.- Abu Dawud Book 019, Hadith Number 3645.

Meaning: From Rajaba "to respect". Another one of the sacred months in which fighting was forbidden prior to Islam. This was one of the most respected months for the Arabs. It is also called Rajab al Fard. Fard means alone; because the other three sacred months come one after another, except this month. It comes alone not like the other 3 consecutive sacred months.

Events:1. The Holy Prophet ascended to Heaven on the 27th of Rajab on either Sunday or Monday (Mi'raaj). 2. Hadhrat Bilal Ibn Haritha (R.A) brought a congregation of four hundred men named Banu Muzeena in the presence of the Holy

Prophet . They all embraced Islam and became followers of the

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise for a non-

believer.- Sahih Muslim Book 042, Hadith Number 7058.

Meaning: Consecutively escalating. (Undisturbed increase). Derived from the word "shu'ba", which means branch. The Arabs used to branch out during this month to look for water.

Blessings:With the Arrival of the Shaban moon numerous blessings are showered upon us. Just as the initiation of rainfall begins with "pitter patter" such blessings reach us in the same accord and fashion.

With the Beginning of Shaban blessings are initiated which progressively escalate so that by mid-Shaban the blessings have reached a considerable amount and finally such blessings reached a considerable amount and finally such blessings reach their peak by the end of Ramadan.

For example just as a farmer prepares for a fruitful harvest by harrowing his acreage so that the soil may readily retain water, in contrast our souls are geared by the presence of such blessings in Shaban effectively preparing us for a fruitful and completely advantageous Ramadan.

Our Holy Prophet has said, "Shaban is my month and Ramadan the month of Allah Ta'aalaa." (Daylami)

Events:1. "Laila-tul Baraa'at (Night of forgiveness) the fifteenth night of Shaban. 2. "Qibla", the direction to be adopted within salaah, was reverted back to the "Ka'aba" in Makkah (after being coverted to Baitul Muqaddas in Jerusalem for a short period of time). This took place two years after Hijraah on the 15th of Shaban. 3. Fasting in the blessed month of Ramadan was made compulsory in the year 2 A.H. on the 25th of Shaban. 4. Three years A.H. Hadhrat Hafsa (R.A) was joined in matrimony with

the Prophet . 5. In this very month forty two years later Hadhrat Hafsa (R.A) took leave from this world.

6. The birth of the Prophet's grandson Hadhrat Hussain (R.A.) took place, four years on the fifth of Shaban. 7. The battle of Banu Mustaliq took place in Shaban.

Meaning: Uplift/breakage, as before Islam, Arabs believed that any marriage held in Shawwal would always turn out to be unsuccessful.

Its Sunnah ( Tradition of Holy Prophet ) to fast for six days in Shawwal, as narrated in the following Hadeeth by Abu Ayyub Ansaru

(R.A) that the Holy Prophet has said, "If one throughout his life keeps the fasts of Ramadan and keeps six consecutive fasts in Shawwal it will be as though he has kept a whole life time of fasts, and if one fast for six consecutive days in Shawwal it will be as though he has fasted all year round."(Muslim)

Events:1. Hadhrat Aa'ishah Siddiqui (R.A) was born in Shawwal, 4 years after Prophethood and 9 years before Hijrah. 2. Hadhrat Aa'ishah Siddiqah (R.A.) was married to Holy

Prophet in Shawwal, 10 years after Prophethood which is 3 years before Hijrah. 3. The fight between Banu Qaynaqaa took place between the battle of Badr and Uhud, Shawwal 2 A.H. after Hijrah. 4. The battle of Uhud also took place in Shawwaal, three years after Hijrah.

5. Hadhrat Hussain (R.A) Holy Prophet's grandson (son of Hadhrat Fatima R.A.) was born in the month of Shawwaal 4 years after Hijrah.

Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amr : A man asked the Prophet , "What sort of deeds or (what qualities of) Islam are good?" The Prophet replied, 'To

feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know' -Sahih Bukhari Volume 001, Book 002, Hadith Number 011.

Meaning: The month of "Hajj" (Pilgrimage). This is the last sacred month in which fighting was forbidden.

Blessings: The fifth pillar of Islam "Hajj" is performed in this sacred month. The first ten days of Zul-Hijjah are the most virtuous days in this whole month, Hajj is performed amongst these ten days.

Hadhrat Abu Haraira (R.A) reports from the Holy Prophet : "Amongst all days there are none better to engage in sole worship of Allah than in the ten days of Zul-Hijjah, To observe a fast on any of these days is equivalent to fasting throughout the year, to actively engage in prayer and worship throughout any of these nights holds such rewarding values leveling with "night of power" (Laylatul-Qadr) "Tirmizi". It has been stated in the Holy Qur'an, "By the dawn; By the ten nights (ie. the first ten days of the month of Zul-Hijjah), and by the even and the odd (of all the creations of Allah) and by night when it departs. There is indeed in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men of understanding. (and that they should avoid all kinds of sins and disbelief)" Hadhrat Abi Qataadah (R.A) reports in a part narration from the Holy

Prophet concerning the fast observed on the day of Arafaat: "I have full confidence in Allah for the one who observes a fast on the day of Arafaat that his previous year's sins and the proceeding year's sins are forgiven."(Muslim)

Events: 1. The Prophet performed the farewell Hajj and gave the historic sermon known as the "Farewell Sermon" 2. Uthmaan (R.A.) was appointed the third Caliph 4. "Bay'ate-Aqabah" 5. Hadhrat Fatimah (R.A.) was married in this holy month to the fourth Caliph Hadhrat Ali (R.A.).

I heard the messenger of Allah say : "Islam has been built on five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammed is the

messenger of Allah, performing the prayers, paying the zakat, making the pilgrimage to the House, and fasting in Ramadan."- Related by Bukhari

and Muslim, Nawawi Hadith Number 003
