forgiveness!• After sunset on the night of Middle of Sha`ban, Allah in His

great mercy and kindness turns towards His creation and asks, "Is there anyone who would seek My forgiveness and I forgive him (or her)? Is there anyone who is in need to ask Me and I provide for his (or her) needs. Is there anyone who is in pain and seeks My help and I help him (or her)? Is there…? Is there…?” until the time of Dawn."

Allah (S.W.T) rewrites your future at this time!• In this month Allah takes the account of His creation.

DUA MADE!

O Allah, grant us a part of Your fear, that acts as a

barrier between us and Your disobedience, Your

obedience, that helps us achieve Your pleasure,

the certainty that makes the miseries of the world

seem insignificant. O Allah, make us enjoy, our

hearing, our sight, our strength as long as You

Keep us alive. Make us take rise against those

who oppress us, and help us against those who

show animosity to us. Place not our miseries in

our religion, and let not this world be our biggest

concern, nor the extent of our knowledge. And do

not appoint over us one who has no mercy on us,

by your mercy, O Most Merciful of the Merciful!
