Shaban - Preparing Hearts for Ramadan
Charity in this month purifies wealth, softens the heart, and makes us more mindful of those who will struggle to afford meals during Ramadan. As we give, we prepare ourselves to embrace the fasting month with a spirit of generosity and empathy.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
'It is a month people neglect between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are raised to the Lord of the worlds, and I like for my deeds to be raised while I am fasting.'
It is a time to cleanse our souls, increase in worship, and engage in good deeds so that we enter Ramadan with purified hearts.
How Giving in Sha'ban Prepares You for Ramadan
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the most generous of people, and his generosity increased in the months leading to Ramadan. Giving in Sha'ban allows us to follow his example, cultivate gratitude, and remind ourselves of the struggles faced by those in need

Sponsoring an Orphan in this Blessed month
Sponsoring an orphan holds a special place in Islam, promising immense rewards. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"The one who sponsors an orphan and I will be in Paradise like this," and he held his two fingers together. (Bukhari)
By sponsoring an orphan in Sha'ban, you not only change a child’s life but also purify your heart in preparation for Ramadan. It is a means to gain closeness to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and earn immense blessings before the month of mercy begins.

Purify Your Wealth
As we approach Ramadan, Rajab is the perfect time to fulfill your Zakat obligations and purify your wealth.
The Quran commands us:
“And establish prayer and give Zakat” (Qur'an 2:43)
Zakat is not merely an act of generosity—it is a divine command and one of the five pillars of Islam. It purifies your wealth, cleanses your heart, and uplifts those in need. By giving your Zakat, you help sustain orphans, support widows, and empower the most vulnerable among us.
