📌 *`15th Sha'ban:` The Reality of Shab-e-Baraat* الحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين 1️⃣ *The Night of 15th Sha'ban Has No Special Virtue in Islam:* Islam does not consider the night of 15th Sha'ban as a night of special virtue. There is no evidence in the Shari’ah that any specific worship, gathering, or special act should be performed on this night. 2️⃣ *No Mention of Shab-e-Baraat in the Qur'an and Hadith:* The beliefs that have become common among people regarding this night—such as the idea that destinies are written on this night—are baseless and have no foundation in the Qur'an or authentic Hadith. 3️⃣ *Worship is Prescribed in the Odd Nights of Ramadan:* Islam has commanded us to seek worship in the odd nights of Ramadan (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th). However, most people only stay awake on the 27th night while neglecting the others. As for the 15th night of Sha'ban, there is no command to stay awake, yet people observe it as if it were an Eid, whereas Islam does not designate any night as an Eid. 4️⃣ *Visiting the Graveyard on This Specific Night is an Innovation (Bid’ah):* If someone visits the graveyard specifically on the night of 15th Sha'ban or lights lamps and decorations there, this is an innovation (bid’ah). The graveyard is not a place for lights and gatherings. Such practices can even lead to shirk. 5️⃣ *The Souls of the Deceased Do Not Return to This World:* The souls of those who have passed away do not return to this world, nor do they visit their homes or eat halwa (sweet dishes). Holding such beliefs, especially preparing halwa for them, is an innovation and superstition that has no connection to Islam. 6️⃣ *Special Prayers, Qada-e-Umri Salah, and Salat-ut-Tasbeeh on This Night are Innovations:* Praying for a long life, making up all missed prayers of life in one night (qada-e-umri), reciting specific Surahs, or arranging special nawafil and Salat-ut-Tasbeeh on this night—all these are innovations. There is no evidence for these practices in the Shari’ah. 7️⃣ *The Innovator (Bid’ati) Claims to Improve Upon Allah and His Messenger’s ﷺ Teachings:* The greatest harm of bid’ah is that the innovator (نعوذ بالله) assumes that Allah سبحانہ وتعالیٰ and His Messenger ﷺ did not complete the religion, and that they need to add new practices. However, Allah has clearly declared in the Qur'an that the religion is complete. 📖 The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: *«كل بدعة ضلالة، وكل ضلالة في النار»* *_"Every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance leads to the Fire!"_* > [Sunan Abi Dawood: 4607, Jami' at-Tirmidhi: 2676] 🔎 _Tonight, strive to save people from this bid’ah! Islam is only what is established from the Qur'an and Sunnah. Do not create new beliefs or introduce new acts of worship from yourself._ 🔷 *`Follow authentic Islam and avoid bid’ah!`* اللهم أرنا الحق حقاً وارزقنا اتباعه، وأرنا الباطل باطلاً وارزقنا اجتنابه Aameen. ✍🏻 Ustadha Dr. Khalida Kazi حفظها الله 🖇️ https://t.me/kkews001 🖇️ https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029ValGQ5K0rGiVTPjt3N21
