Question
does shaban have special importance in islam?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedYes, Shaban has special importance in Islam.
The Prophet ﷺ used to fast frequently in Shaban and said it is a month in which deeds are presented to Allah, so he loved that his deeds be raised while fasting.
Sunan al-Nasai (2357)
Shaban also serves as preparation for Ramaḍan through increased worship and repentance.
The 15th night of Shaban is a night of Allah’s mercy, but no fixed special prayers or celebrations are established.
