"Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a
year), so it was ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the
heavens and the
earth; of them, four are sacred. That is the right religion, so
wrong not yourselves therein " [Al-Qur'an 9:36]
-
Meaning: This word means "whistling of the wind". When this name
was assigned to this month, it was probably a windy time of the
year. As mentioned earlier, most of the months were named according
to weather conditions at the time. However, since they are based on
the moon, the months shift about 11 days every year. So, the
seasons do not necessarily correspond to the name of the month
anymore.
Misconception:This time of the year was considered to be cursed
as many catastrophes and calamities took place. However this belief
has been proven to be false and totally without foundation
(absurd).
This can also be confirmed by the following hadeeth. Hadhrat
Jaabir (R.A.) has said that, "I have heard the
Prophet saying, the descending of illness and evil superstition
befalling in the month of Safar is untrue." (Muslim)
Events: 1. The Battle of Abwaa took place on 12th of Safar in
the year 2 A.H. 2. The Battle of Khaibar took place in the year 7
A.H.
3. Hadhrat Ali (R A ) married Prophet daughter Hadhrat Fatima
(R.A.) in the latter days of Safar 2 A.H. 4. Khubaib Ibn Adey
(R.A.) was martyred in Safar in the year 4 A.H. in Makkah. 5. Zaid
Ibn Dathina (RA) was martyred in this month in the year 4 A.H. in
Makkah

months in which fighting was forbidden prior to Islam. This was one

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
as saying: The world is a prison-house for a believer and Paradise
for a non-
believer.- Sahih Muslim Book 042, Hadith Number 7058.
-
Meaning: Consecutively escalating. (Undisturbed increase).
Derived from the word "shu'ba", which means branch. The Arabs used
to branch out during this month to look for water.
Blessings:With the Arrival of the Shaban moon numerous blessings
are showered upon us. Just as the initiation of rainfall begins
with "pitter patter" such blessings reach us in the same accord and
fashion.
With the Beginning of Shaban blessings are initiated which
progressively escalate so that by mid-Shaban the blessings have
reached a considerable amount and finally such blessings reached a
considerable amount and finally such blessings reach their peak by
the end of Ramadan.
For example just as a farmer prepares for a fruitful harvest by
harrowing his acreage so that the soil may readily retain water, in
contrast our souls are geared by the presence of such blessings in
Shaban effectively preparing us for a fruitful and completely
advantageous Ramadan.
Our Holy Prophet has said, "Shaban is my month and Ramadan the
month of Allah Ta'aalaa." (Daylami)
Events:1. "Laila-tul Baraa'at (Night of forgiveness) the
fifteenth night of Shaban. 2. "Qibla", the direction to be adopted
within salaah, was reverted back to the "Ka'aba" in Makkah (after
being coverted to Baitul Muqaddas in Jerusalem for a short period
of time). This took place two years after Hijraah on the 15th of
Shaban. 3. Fasting in the blessed month of Ramadan was made
compulsory in the year 2 A.H. on the 25th of Shaban. 4. Three years
A.H. Hadhrat Hafsa (R.A) was joined in matrimony with
the Prophet . 5. In this very month forty two years later
Hadhrat Hafsa (R.A) took leave from this world.
6. The birth of the Prophet's grandson Hadhrat Hussain (R.A.)
took place, four years on the fifth of Shaban. 7. The battle of
Banu Mustaliq took place in Shaban.

life keeps the fasts of Ramadan and keeps six consecutive fasts in
Shawwal it will be as though he has kept a whole life time of
fasts, and if one fast for six consecutive days in Shawwal it will
be as though he has fasted all year round."(Muslim)

-
Meaning: Taken from the word "qa'ada" which means to sit. This

people also used to stop their business activities during this

Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amr : A man asked the Prophet , "What
sort of deeds or (what qualities of) Islam are good?" The Prophet
replied, 'To
feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you
do not know' -Sahih Bukhari Volume 001, Book 002, Hadith Number
011.
-
Meaning: The month of "Hajj" (Pilgrimage). This is the last
sacred month in which fighting was forbidden.
Blessings: The fifth pillar of Islam "Hajj" is performed in this
sacred month. The first ten days of Zul-Hijjah are the most
virtuous days in this whole month, Hajj is performed amongst these
ten days.
Hadhrat Abu Haraira (R.A) reports from the Holy Prophet :
"Amongst all days there are none better to engage in sole worship
of Allah than in the ten days of Zul-Hijjah, To observe a fast on
any of these days is equivalent to fasting throughout the year, to
actively engage in prayer and worship throughout any of these
nights holds such rewarding values leveling with "night of power"
(Laylatul-Qadr) "Tirmizi". It has been stated in the Holy Qur'an,
"By the dawn; By the ten nights (ie. the first ten days of the
month of Zul-Hijjah), and by the even and the odd (of all the
creations of Allah) and by night when it departs. There is indeed
in them (the above oaths) sufficient proofs for men of
understanding. (and that they should avoid all kinds of sins and
disbelief)" Hadhrat Abi Qataadah (R.A) reports in a part narration
from the Holy
Prophet concerning the fast observed on the day of Arafaat: "I
have full confidence in Allah for the one who observes a fast on
the day of Arafaat that his previous year's sins and the proceeding
year's sins are forgiven."(Muslim)
Events: 1. The Prophet performed the farewell Hajj and gave the
historic sermon known as the "Farewell Sermon" 2. Uthmaan (R.A.)
was appointed the third Caliph 4. "Bay'ate-Aqabah" 5. Hadhrat
Fatimah (R.A.) was married in this holy month to the fourth Caliph
Hadhrat Ali (R.A.).

I heard the messenger of Allah say : "Islam has been built on
five [pillars]: testifying that there is no god but Allah and that
Muhammed is the
messenger of Allah, performing the prayers, paying the zakat,
making the pilgrimage to the House, and fasting in Ramadan."-
