Looking Forward to Ramadan

As-salamu'alaykum Dear Community. I hope this message finds you in the best of faith and health. May Allah bless us all in the month of Rajab, Sha'ban and allow us to reach Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah (sallalhu 'alayhi wa sallam) fasted more in the month of Sha'ban than any other Month (Sahih Muslim). When asked why he had excessively fasted in this month the Messenger of Allah (sallalhu 'alayhi wa sallam) replied: "This is a month which people are forgetful of between Rajab and Ramadan. It is the month wherein deeds are raised towards the Lord of the universe, therefore I would love to have my deeds raised while I am in the state of fasting" (Sunan al-Nasa'i). May Allah grant us the guidance and strength to continue to perform virtuous deeds which He loves and is pleased with. "Good words ascend to Him and righteous deeds are exalted by him."(35:10)
