15th
Night of Sha`ban
Merits of the night of 15th
Sha’ban:
Imam Ja`far al-¯adiq (a.s) has narrated that when Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a.s)
was asked about the merits of the fifteenth night of Sha`ban, he answered, “It is the
most favorable night after the Qadr Night. At this night, Allah (swt) bestows upon
His servants with His favors and grants them His pardon.
Therefore, you should exert all efforts for seeking nearness to Allah (swt) at this
night, because He—Majestic and Honorable is He—has decided not to reject and
beggar so long as an act of disobedience is asked.
Allah (swt) has chosen this night for us, the Ahl al-Bayt, in the same way as He has
chosen the Qadr Night for our Prophet—peace be upon him and his Family. You
should thus pray Allah (swt) and thank Him diligently.”
The Holy Prophet (saws) has said that during the night of 15th Sha’ban, Allah (swt)
takes decisions in the matters of sustenance, life and death and welfare of the
people.
Also, at the dawn of this night, the 12th Imam, Imam Mohammed Mahdi (atfs) was
born in Samarrah in the year 255 AH.
It is highly recommended to spend this whole night with acts of worship, prayers,
supplications, invocations and prayers for forgiveness. A °ad¢th has confirmed that
as for one who spends this whole night with acts of worship, his heart will not die
when other hearts die.
The first thing that that Salik (the Wayfarer on the path towards Allah, Glorified
and Exalted is He) must perform on this night is that he must remove the material
pleasures and enjoyments of this world from in front of his eyes (and from his
heart) and in order to make the most of this special night and ensure that all of his
actions are performed properly.
He must think to himself that tonight is his last night on this Earth (meaning that
tomorrow he shall die) and thus, he will no longer have the opportunity to perform
any more good deeds and that tomorrow the Day of Judgment will take place.
Recommneded Acts for the Night of 15th
Sha’ban:
Take Ghusl (Bath) with the thought of washing away sins & as if it ’s your
last Ghusl
It is recommended to mention Allah (swt) by the following invocation
one hundred times so that one’s past acts of disobedience to Allah (swt)
will be forgiven and one’s worldly and religious needs will be settled:
;All glory be to Allah سبحان الله،
;all praise be to Allah والحمد لله،
there is no god save الله، وال إله إال
Allah;
;Allah is the Greatest والله أكبر،
Recite 100 times 'Astaghfirullah ' with attention to seeking forgiveness.
Ziyarah of Imam Husain for the night of 15th
Sha`ban

(Sh¢`ah) are living on the hope of
your being alive;

And by the light of your
illumination have those seeking you
been guided (to the right path).

and shall never be extinguished.
