The Month of Shaban: Practice, Habit, and Refinement

In this month’s lecture, Imam Nasir Ahmad Arif shares reflections on the month of Shaban, a period that is often overlooked yet plays a crucial role in the spiritual journey towards Ramadan. It is a time to pause, take stock of where we are, and begin preparing both body and heart for the coming month of fasting. We are reminded that Ramadan is not an isolated period, but a training ground for life. Preparation in Shaban takes shape through practical steps: becoming accustomed to voluntary fasting, strengthening our relationship with prayer and the Quran, increasing generosity through charity, establishing daily dhikr and dua, and working with forgiveness and self-accountability (muhasaba). A recurring question throughout the lecture is how worship can be allowed to shape our lives before, during, and after Ramadan, so that faith becomes something lived and embodied, influencing our actions, relationships, and responsibilities as human beings. Recorded at Masjid Aysha (Ayshamoskén), 10 January 2026.
