Winter Season & the Spiritual Season of Sha\u2019ban<\/h2>
\r\n\t

Jumuah<\/a>, at Umhlanga Musjid<\/a> on March 26, 2021<\/span><\/p>
\r\n

The changing of the seasons is an occasion of reflection for a Believer and a lesson on the seasons of life as our bodies age and the world around us changes. The pious await the season of winter because the long nights are an opportunity for extra \u2018Ibadah, the days easy to fast and for the opportunity to benefit the needy and indigent. Seemingly small gestures such as providing a blanket evokes heartfelt Du\u2019as from the hearts of the poor, and is appreciated and rewarded by Allah Ta\u2019ala, earning one the status of being the best in His eyes. <\/p>\n

We are also approaching a high spiritual season. Sha\u2019ban is a period of preparation, purification and \u2018warming up\u2019 so that we can begin the \u2018race\u2019 of Ramadan from the moment the moon is sighted, and continue striving to accumulate maximum benefit for the remaining 11 months of the year. Grab the opportunity of fasting in emulation of Nabi-Kareem Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam who fasted abundantly in Sha\u2019ban, preferring that the annual \u2018audit\u2019 of his deeds be whilst in the state of fasting. Set our affairs right in preparation for 15 night of Sha\u2019ban so that we secure our forgiveness, and ensure we are not from the 3 categories of those who will be deprived of forgiveness on this great night.<\/p>\n
