for eg, he never made duaa to see his grandsons (Hasan &; Hussian) grown
up, or to live til Islam spreads and prevails all the other religions ..
the only occasion where the Prophet(peace be upon him) used to ask to live
for long was when the Month of Rajab comes ? he used to ask Allah to make
him live to worship Him in Ramadan and get the maximum reward ?


SobahanAllah the Prophet whom Allah called "My Beloved" ...the Prophet whom
Allah forgave his past and future sins... the Prophet whom the guardian of
the Gate of Paradise was commanded not to open its Gate for anyone before
him?.and still he(peace be upon him) wants to live till Ramadan comes to
worship Allah and beg for forgiveness ?


If our Prophet(peace be upon him) didn't want to die before Ramadan?..
what if you die the night before Ramadan? aren't we in need of this duaa
more than the Prophet (peace be upon him)?


"O Allah, bless us in Rajab &; Shabaan and make me live to see Ramadan"


Some people stay up on the night of the 27th of Ramadan leaving all the
other nights ? thinking that it's the Night of Qadr?.. well that's wrong
because majority of scholars say that the Night of Qadr changes every year
?. And if you want to make it on that Night ? than it requires some effort
in these coming 15 days..that's why the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to
ask Allah to bless him in Rajab &; Shabaan, because if Allah blessed you in
those 2 month, inshallah for sure you will make it on the Night of Qadr?now
do you realize how important those 15 days are?


Let's ask ourselves a question?has Allah already blessed us in the month of
Rajab and Sha'baan? .......... Can you feel the blessing?


If you answer yes to any of the following questions it might be a sign of
achieving His blessing:


Do you feel closer to Allah? Do you feel that your prayers and all acts of
worship are improving? Do you wake up to pray at least 2 Raka at night? ?
if yes than thank Allah for His blessings.


But if you feel that you became worse in the last 2 months, and that your
sins are increasing? Than watch out because it's Shatan who wants to make
you commit lots of sins to destroy you before Ramadan so that you will need
to start from scratch in Ramadan. Because the Shatan knows that he will be
chained during Ramadan and there will be no way for him to tempt you then
.. so its his only chance .. the next 15 days .. WATCH OUT ...he will try
all this tricks to make you commit sins


So.... don't forget to make lots of Istaqafar, read the Quran and say the
Duaa of the Prophet wheneva you remember it:


"O Allah, bless us in Rajab &; Shabaan and make me live to see Ramadan"


Allahuma Baarik Lana Fee Rajab Wa Shabaan Wa Baliqana Ramadan


and grant us Forgiveness and make us of those who will be praying to You on
the night of Qadr.......ameeeeen
