The Middle of Sha^baan
*النصف من شعبان*
(Part 1)
The Prophet ﷺ said what means: *“If it is the night of the middle of Sha^baan, then worship Allah during it, and fast the day following it”.*
🔸Worshipping Allah during that night means to do so most of the night, by praying, reciting Qur'an, or making supplications. It is more hopeful that the supplications made in the deep night time to be answered.
📌 *However, know fellow Muslims that the Will of Allah does not change*.
Rather, the Will of Allah, like all His Attributes, is eternal without a beginning and everlasting without an end, and It does not change.
If one’s supplication was answered, then this means that Allah eternally, without a beginning, willed for that person to ask for such a matter and for one to receive it. And if the supplication of a person was not answered then this means that Allah eternally, without a beginning, did not will for that person to be granted that matter.
🔸But still the person does get the reward of making a good supplication sincerely, because making supplications is a type of worship.
