Read Sultanق’s Sohbah here:

Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, today is the second of the holy three months. Rajab is over. We entered the holy month of Sha‘bān, shukr to Allāh ﷻ. This month is the month of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. It has a great blessing. Our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam used to fast the most in this month after Ramaḍān. Sha‘bān is Mukarram (honored) and Mu’azzam (glorified) month that has a lot of virtue. Allāh ﷻ grants various favours each and every day. The favours of this month are so great. They’re great for the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ.

The worship performed in this month is the preparation for Ramaḍān. The worship of Ramaḍān becomes complete. And people get profit with the virtue of the three holy months. People who do this are granted the greatest favours by Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. If He ﷻ has granted it [to them], it is a great virtue.

There are holy nights in this month, especially the night on the 15th. From year to year, who will live on and who will be gone, the amount of rizq; Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla assigns those on this night. Who is to stay will stay. Who is to go will go. Therefore, making du‘ā’ on this night brings the favours of Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla. He ﷻ will treat you with His ﷻ favours. Who doesn’t forget Allāh ﷻ, Allāh ﷻ won’t forget him. He ﷻ shows mercy to whomever wants it. Who doesn’t want it knows for himself. Because who asks wants goodness. Who doesn’t ask doesn’t want anything. Therefore, his condition is difficult.

Every day is precious in people’s lives. They should do goodness every day. They should obey Allāh ﷻ. They should make du‘ā’ that He ﷻ increases their love to our Holy Prophet ﷺ. There are more favours in the three months for this. The holy nights in these three months are even greater favours from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla to humanity, to people. But people don’t appreciate them. They appreciate useless things. They don’t appreciate precious things. May Allāh ﷻ let all of us know these good things. And may He ﷻ let us know things that are not good so that we don’t approach them. May we do the good ones. May we not waste our lives and days in vain.

There are duties of this month, of course. The greatest duty we must do is to make more ṣalawāt on our Holy Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Tasbīḥāt, Ikhlāṣ, Āyatu l-Kursī, Tawhid: Lā ilāha illā Llāh, reading Qur’ān and Dalā’il al-Khayrāt. Don’t forget them. Many people cannot do them in other months. They should do them at least during these months; Rajab, Sha‘bān‎, Ramaḍān. It is the season of holy months. It is a beautiful season. May Allāh ﷻ bless it for all of us.

May He ﷻ protect us from disasters. As we are living in the end of times, it is unclear what will happen. As no one is secured, our security is to seek refuge in Allāh ﷻ. There is no other security. As Nūḥ ‘alayhi s-salām told his son when he said “I will hide on top of the mountain”, even on top of the mountain your are not protected if Allāh ﷻ doesn’t protect you. Therefore, we seek refuge in Allāh ﷻ. May Allāh ﷻ help us. May Allāh ﷻ protect people and our īmān. Our īmān is more important than our life. May Allāh ﷻ protect it insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
