We should be grateful to Allah ta'ala for allowing us to engage in Dhikr during the first morning of Sha'ban.
Allah ta'ala has reserved unique bounties and rewards which His servants may attain during various moments of time. This is why we have been ordered to perform certain acts of worship at certain times. The believer who desires a beautiful Hereafter, should not waste any moment in which Allah ta'ala has placed a reward, particularly during the blessed days.
During these moments, we should turn towards Allah ta'ala and appreciate these opportunities, otherwise, the opportunity for reward goes to waste.
This is the month which prepares us for Ramadan. We should develop the habits we wish to inculcate during Ramadan and pass Sha'ban the way we would like to spend Ramadan so that it will become easy for us to practice during Ramadan.
There are many virtues of the month of Sha'ban and Allah ta'ala has granted us an excellent night during this month. We should spend this month with caution as it is the month of preparation for Ramadan and it is a month full of blessings.
We pray for the blessings of Ramadan during Sha'ban so that we can reach Ramadan easily and enjoy it. According to the Dua of the Prophet ﷺ, we are striving to attain Ramadan through this month.
This habit of Dhikr after Fajr and Quran recitation should continue until Ramadan. It is also a good time to practice the act of fasting too.
We pray that Allah ta'ala does not grant us any issues, hurdles or sickness whereby we are disturbed prior to Ramadan and cannot welcome the blessed month with ease and comfort. For this reason, we are instructed in advance to pray for the blessings of this month.
Anything connected to Allah ta'ala contains blessings. Thus, blessings refer to worshiping and remembering Allah ta'ala in a beautiful manner because such acts are connected to His obedience. If a person is not praying, yet, his business is flourishing, this is not an example of blessings in his life.
We should be wary of committing sins during this month. Most of all, it is one's eyesight which destroys his Ramadan. Therefore, one should practice safeguarding his gaze from now so that his Ramadan is not destroyed.
It is essential that we begin limiting the usage of our phones and detach ourselves from it. We should keep the Internet and our phones away from us and only use them in emergencies.
One may intend to use his phone with correct intentions, such as reciting Quran, however, one touch of a button often leads him towards immodest and evil scenes. Therefore, one should avoid using the phone unnecessarily.
We should begin the habit of reciting Quran during Sha'ban. We should aim to recite one Juzz a day. If we begin preparing now, we will attain Ramadan and we will enjoy the month of Ramadan.
From today, we must remain consistent upon the morning and evening Dhikr gatherings. We must remain steadfast upon the actions which our Sheikh has prescribed to us, such as Dhikr.
We should write down our schedule and action plan for Sha'ban and the things we would like to refrain from.
We should spend Sha'ban in this way and remain cautious of upholding its sanctity.
May Allah ta'ala allow us to implement these precious pearls of wisdom. Ameen
