The month of Sha'ban is an extremely virtuous month. It is a month that falls between the sacred months of Rajab and Ramadan and is the eighth month of the Hijri calendar. It is reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Sha'ban is a month between Rajab and Ramadan, much neglected by people. In it, the actions of all servants are raised to the Lord of the Worlds; I love that my actions are not presented except that I am fasting." [Bayhaqi] Imam Abu-Bakr al-Balkhi رحمه الله said, “The month of Rajab is the month for planting, the month of Sha’ban is the month of irrigating the crops, and the month of Ramadan is the month of harvesting the crops.”
