Shaban Calendar

Shaban is the eighth month of the Islamic calendar. The importance of this month can easily be predicted with the narration of Hazrat Ayesha binte Hazrat Abu Bakar (RA). Hazrat Ayesha (RA) said about the Holy Prophet (PBUH) that “(she) did not see Him (PBUH) fasting in any other month more than in the Shaban, except Ramzan.”

The Holy Prophet (SAW) said that “Rajab is the month of Allah, Shaban is my month, and Ramzan is the month of my Ummah.”
