        "Do you know that our Prophet ﷺ would fast more in Shaban than in any other month except Ramadan?\nShaban, the month between Rajab and Ramadan, is a golden opportunity to prepare your heart and soul for the blessed days ahead.\nGood preparation in Shaban means a more rewarding Ramadan, Insha’Allah.\nCheck out the full blog to discover the virtues of Shaban and tips to make this month count for a better Ramadan!\nWhat Does Sha'ban Mean?\nSha’ban (شَعْبَان) is the 8th month of the Hijri calendar.\nThe name comes from the Arabic word Sha’aba, which means ‘to appear,’ ‘emerge,’ or ‘branch out.’\nSince this month falls between Rajab and Ramadan, it is believed to be named after this meaning.\nIt is also said that the Arabs used to Sha’aba — disperse in raids and forays — during this month.\nThis could be another reason for the name Sha’ban.\nWhen is Shaban 2026?\nRajab 1447H is expected to start on Tuesday, January 20 2026, and end on Tuesday, 17 February 2026.\nHowever, the date may vary in different regions, as Islamic months are based on moon sightings.\nThings to Avoid During Shaban\nThere are certain things we should avoid during the blessed month of Sha’ban.\nSome of these are: Committing Sins, Engaging in Bid’ah, Being lazy in preparation for Ramadan, etc.\nIn many parts of the world, the 15th night of Sha’ban i.e. Shab-e-Barat, is celebrated jubilantly.\nPeople decorate the mosques with lighting and set off fireworks that night.\nWomen at home prepare sweets(halwa) and bread(roti) at home.\nAll these are done in the name of Sunnah.\nBut in reality, these are despised Bid’ah (innovation) in Islam and have nothing to do with Sunnah.\nWe should avoid such acts and adhere to the Prophetic Sunnah in the blessed month of Sha’ban.\nFAQs\nQ. Is fasting in Shaban recommended?\nAns. Yes.\nOur beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would fast in Sha’ban more than any other month except Ramadan.\nThus, fasting as many days as possible in Sha’ban is recommended.\nQ. How many days should one fast in Sha’ban?\nAns. Scholars have differed in opinion as to whether one should fast the last 15 days of the month of Sha’ban.\nSo, the sound option is to fast either the entirety of Sha’ban or to fast the first 15 days.\nBut one should avoid only fasting in the last 15 days if they haven’t fasted in the first 15 days of this month.\nConclusion\nSha’ban has great significance for us.\nWe should start getting ready for Ramadan from this blessed month.\nAs a part of the Sunnah, we should fast for as many days as we can during this month.\nMay Allah accept our good deeds and purify our hearts."
