[koolguyzngulz] Blessings of Shab-e-Bara`at

month.`(Al Jamia-us-Sagheer, Hadith No.4779) !Do you prefer fasting in Sha`baan-ul-Mu`azzam as compared to other months?` The Holy Prophet (Musnad-e-Abu Ya`laa, V4, P277, Hadith No.4890) My Dear Islamic Brothers!The fifteenth of Sha`baan-ul-Mu`azzam is indeed very delicate!Who knows what will be written in our fortune.Ah!Sometimes a person is negligent and who knows what is written for him.It is stated in Ghunya-tut-Talibeen, `The shroud of many people is washed and ready but the people who are going to wear that shroud are wandering around in the markets, there are many people whose graves have been dug and are ready but they are lost in happiness, some people be laughing even though the time of their destruction is close, many people are busy building houses but they die before the construction is complete.` My Dear Islamic Brothers!Shab-e-Bara`at is a very important night because who knows what will be written in their destiny.Therefore this night should not be spent in negligence.Mercy falls in abundance on this night.In this blessed night, Allah forgives more people from the nation of The Holy Prophet than the amount of hair on the goats of `Bani Kalb`.It is narrated in books that the tribe of `Bani Kalb` had more goats than any other tribe in Arabia.However, there are still some unfortunate people who will not get forgiven on Shab-e-Bara`at meaning the night of freedom.Hujja-tul-Islam Hazrat`e Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali says, (1) An alcoholic, (2) an adulterer, (3) the one who disobeys his parents, (4) the one who breaks relations, (5) the one who creates trouble and (6) the one who tells tales will not be forgiven on this night.In one narration, the person who creates trouble has been replaced with the one who makes pictures. Similarly, a wizard, a magician, the person who keeps his shalwaar or tehband below his ankles due to pride, the one who creates trouble between two Muslims and the one who has malice in his heart for another Muslim will not be forgiven on this night.Allah looks down at the earth from the sky and says: `Is there anyone that seeks my forgiveness so that I may forgive him!Is there anyone that seeks my sustenance so that I may provide it to him!Is there anyone with problems so that I may remove them!Is there anyone like this!Is there anyone like this!And He (Sunan ibn-e-majah, V2, P160, Hadith No.1388) The record of deeds is changed on Shab-e-Bara`at therefore if possible, try and fast on the fourteenth of Sha`baan-ul-Mu`azzam so that the last day of your record of deeds has a fast written on it.Stay in the Masjid after Salaa-tul-Asr on the fourteenth of Sha`baan with the intention of Nafli (voluntary) I`tikaaf so that the last moments of your record of deeds has I`tikaaf written in it and the beginning of Shab-e-Bara`at will begin in the merciful atmosphere of the Masjid.__,_._,___
