Bismillah...

"For those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah (in the Hereafter, let them strive); for the Term (appointed) by Allah is surely coming: and He hears and knows (all things). And if any strive (with might and main) they do so for their own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from creation... and those who believe and work righteous deeds -them we shall admit into the company of the Righteous." ~Surat al-Ankabut, Ayahs 5-6, 9

15th of Sha'ban

Bismillah hir Rahman nir Raheem
Allahumma salli 'alaa sayyidinaa Muhammadin 'abdika wa rasoolikan-nabiyyil ummiyyu wa 'alaa aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallim.
As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu : )

Just a quick note to remind us all that the 15th of Sha'ban is coming up soon! The ground is fertile for planting those spiritual seeds and the rainy season is just a few weeks away, so reap the fruit available to you and start doing extra right away, if you haven't already.

May Allah subhaanahu wa ta 'aala grant us the gift of extra recitation of Qur'an, extra nawaafil acts and salaahs, extra dhikr, and extra fasting now, and may we spiritually soar into Ramadan so that once it begins the wind of its blessings catch us under the wings and raise us to the lofty heights of wilaaya. Ameen.

Was-salaam ma'al ikraam,
Zareen

P.S. Click here for a post from last year which talks all about what you can do on the night and day of the 15th of sha'ban.
