Assalamualaikum everyone,
Welcome back to BeQuranic!
Alhamdulillah, we’ve now entered the month of Sha’ban—a month filled with immense blessings and spiritual opportunities.
Did you know that this is the month when our deeds are presented to Allah for the entire year? Rasulullah ﷺ told us that while our actions are recorded daily and weekly, in Sha’ban, they are lifted to Allah for the whole year.

Daily & Weekly Presentation of Deeds
Every single day, our deeds are presented to Allah twice—after Fajr and after Asr. That’s why Rasulullah ﷺ made a special effort to spend time in worship during these moments.
After Fajr, he would recite Qur’an and do dhikr. After Asr, especially before or after Maghrib, he would again engage in dhikr, ensuring his deeds were lifted while he was in a state of worship.
On a weekly level, our deeds are also presented on Mondays and Thursdays. And what did Rasulullah ﷺ do?
He encouraged us to fast on these two days and said that he loved for his deeds to be lifted while he was fasting.
Sha’ban – The Forgotten Month
Sayyidatuna Aishah رضي الله عنها told us that Rasulullah ﷺ fasted the most in Sha’ban, more than any other month except for Ramadan.
Why?
Because Sha’ban is often forgotten. It’s wedged between Rajab, a sacred month, and Ramadan, the most belovedmonth of the year. Many people focus on Rajab and then jump straight into preparing for Ramadan, neglecting Sha’ban.
But Rasulullah ﷺ didn’t forget this month. He increased his worship in Sha’ban precisely because many people overlooked it.
What can we do in Sha’ban?
As we enter this beautiful month, let’s take inspiration from Rasulullah ﷺ:
✅ Increase our fasting—especially on Mondays and Thursdays.
✅ Dedicate time after Fajr and Asr for Qur’an and dhikr.
✅ Be more mindful of our deeds, since they’re being lifted to Allah for the entire year.
