Sheikh Yahya Ibrahim shares brilliant insights into the month of Sha’ban, one of the Prophet’s (PBUH) favourite months. He tells us how to best use this beautiful month to attain the pleasure of Allah (SWT) in the lead up to Ramadan.

Sheikh Yahya also covers three of the most well-known actions we should be aware of during the month of Sha’ban including the sunnah of Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) regarding fasting.

As well as heart-warming tips on how to gain the forgiveness of Allah (SWT) during this month and when to look out for a ‘holy night’ where Allah (SWT) pardons all sins.

Don’t miss out on the beautiful blessings this month brings.
