To understand the importance of this night, we first present the importance of the ENTIRE MONTH OF SHA’BAAN, so that readers may understand that this it is indeed a special month, which demands that we increase our worship in any way, during its entire period.
Sha’baan Is A Special, Meritorious Month
Sha`baan precedes the month of Ramadaan, and is a harbinger of the great mercy that descends upon the believers during Ramadaan. It is a month where we need to “get ready” for the full month of fasting, extra Prayers at night (Taraweeh), increased recitation of the Holy
Qur’an and training of the self (ego).
The Holy Prophet Mohammed is reported to have said: "Sha'ban is my month, Rajab is Allah's month and Ramadaan is the month of my Ummah. Sha'ban is expiator, while Ramadaan is the purifier."(Khashful Khafa)
Once the Holy Prophet was asked: "Oh Allah’s Apostle, in which month other than Ramadaan is fasting the most meritorious?
” Our Prophet answered “Fasting performed in Sha’baan to show respect to Ramadaan”.(Tirmidhi)
Sha’baan is one of the meritorious months for which of Holy Prophet made special efforts and increased his worship.
This fact in itself proves that to increase worship on special occasions or special days of mercy from Allah, is not an innovation, but the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet.
