Contents Introduction The Last Friday of Shaban References The Last Friday of Shaban Another important time (for worshipping Allah, Glory and Greatness be to Him) in the month of Sha’ban for the Salik proceeding towards Allah (Glory and Greatness be to Him) is the last Jumu`ah of the month (this year, it falls on November 1, 200).

In this regard, it has been narrated in the book `Uyun al-Akhbar al-Ridha from Abi Salt al-Harawi that he said: “On the last Friday of the month of Sha’ban, I went to visit Imam al- Ridha (prayers be upon him). The Imam said to me, ‘O’ Aba Salt!

Certainly, a great amount of the month of Sha`ban has passed and today is the last Jumu`ah (of this month) therefore make up for your negligence during this month on this day through the recitation of a great deal of supplications and constantly asking for forgiveness from Allah.

In addition, read the Qur’an much on this day and turn back towards Allah from your sins so that when the month of Ramadan comes, you have purified yourself for Allah such that there remains no trust upon your neck except that you have fulfilled it, and that there remains no hatred in your heart for a true believer except that you have removed it and keep away from all sins.
