The Month of Sha’ban - II
Another benefit of fasting in Sha’ban is that it is a kind of training for the Ramadan fast, in case a person finds it difficult to fast when Ramadan starts; if he fasts in Sha’ban he will have gotten used to fasting and he will feel strong and energetic when Ramadan comes.

Spite
Spite is a heavy burden that the person carries which results in his own misery, occupies his thinking, ruins his mind and adds to his grief and anxiety.

We avoided gossip, slander and every.. More -
A Ramadan Resolution
The best thing about the month of Ramadan is that it is a time of purification.

Ramadan.. More -
