Nisfu Syaaban

its Nisfu Syaaban tomorrow, friends :) 16 July 2011 it is, starting from Maghrib. 'nisfu' means middle in Arabic; nisfu Syaaban means the middle of the month Syaaban. there are lots of benefits of the night of Syaaban, among others:

"A hadith said that the advantage of the month of Rejab is the same as the benefits of the Holy Quran compared to other 'qalam', the month of Sya'aban as the same as the entire 'Anbia', and the month of Ramadhan as the same as Allah over all the creatures.One of the benefits of Sya'aban is that those who fast on any day, Allah will forbid him from hellfire and they will be companions to Prophet Yusof in heaven.Another hadith, as narrated by Ibnu Habban in his authentic book, from Muaz bin Jabal ra, said that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) spoke that "Allah will see his followers on the night of Nisfu Sya'aban and Allah will give rewards or pahala to all of the followers, except those who commit syirik (witchcraft) and adultery".As narrated by Abdullah bin Amru bin al-As, which means "Allah looks at his creatures on the night of Nisfu Sya'aban, and will grant forgiveness, except for two groups, that are those who commit suicide and those who spread fitnah"." (source)

"Hari nisfu sya’aban adalah hari dimana buku catatan amalan kita selama setahun diangkat ke langit dan diganti dengan buku catatan yang baru. Catatan pertama yang akan dicatatkan dibuku yang baru akan bermula sebaik sahaja masuk waktu maghrib, (15 Sya’aban bermula pada 14 hb sya’aban sebaik sahaja masuk maghrib)" (source)

"Dari Abu Hurairah r.a : Nabi saw bersabda : “Telah datang kepadaku Jibrail pada malam nisfu Syaaban dan dia berkata : “Ya Muhammad, pada malam ini pintu-pintu langit dan pintu-pintulah rahmat dibuka. Maka berdirilah dan kerjakan solat lalu angkatlah kedua tanganmu ke langit”. Kata saya : Hai Jibrail, apakah erti malam ini?” Dia menjawab : “Pada malam ini telah dibuka 300 pintu rahmat, maka Allah swtmengampuni orang-orang yang tidak mensyerikatkan Allah dengan sesuatupun, kecuali para ahli sihir, dukun, orang yang suka bermusuhan, peminum khamar, orang yang berbuat zina, pemakan riba, orang yang derhaka kepada kedua orang tua, orang yang suka mengadu domba dan orang yang memutuskan tali persaudaraan, maka sesungguhnya mereka itu tidak akan diampuni sehingga mereka bertaubat dan tidak mengulangi.”" (source)
