The Story of Khawlah bint Thalabah (RA): The Woman Allah Heard from the Heavens Khawlah bint Thalabah (RA) wasn’t a warrior on the battlefield nor a leader of armies, but her voice changed the course of divine law, and her plea was heard not just by the Prophet ﷺ, but by Allah Himself. ●Who Was Khawlah bint Thalabah? Khawlah bint Thalabah (RA) was a noble woman of the Ansar, married to Aws ibn al-Samit, the brother of the famous companion Ubadah ibn al-Samit. She was known for her intelligence, strength of character, and deep faith in Allah. Despite living in a society that gave little voice to women, Khawlah (RA) would not remain silent when faced with injustice—and because of her courage, Allah revealed verses in her defence that are recited to this day. ○The Incident of Zihār One day, in the heat of an argument, Khawlah's husband Aws ibn al-Samit angrily said to her: > "You are to me like the back of my mother."

Shab e Baraat Mubarak...🤲


SHAB E BARA'AT MUBARAK
TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...🥀

LAYLAT AL-BARA'AH ADAB

READ SURAH YASEEN
Prophet Muhammad said the heart of Holy Qur’an is Surah Yaseen, and Yaseen is the name of Prophet, which means the heart of Qu'ran is Prophet! Also, the heart of Yaseen is al-Fatihah, so when you recite Surah Yaseen on Laylat al-Bara'ah, you will be blessed. Allah manifests His Beauty, Light and Knowledge on everyone who observes this night.
.
After Maghrib or Isha prayer, we read Surah Yasin three times, and after each time read a special dua with the following intentions:
1st reading is for long life.
2nd reading is for protection from calamities.
3rd reading is for not needing/relying on anyone but Allah.

SALAT AL-KHAYR
Afterwards, at home or in congregation, perform Salat al-Khayr, 100 rakats prayed in sets of two rakats. In each rakat, recite one Surat al-Fatiha and ten Surat al-Ikhlas (total 1000 Surat al-Ikhlas). Some people keep track of rakats on a misbaha (tasbih, rosary beads).
.
FASTING THE DAY OF BARA'AH
Due to its tremendous baraka, Prophet Muhammad highly recommended fasting 15th Shabaan (mustahabb) and a vast majority of Predecessors of the Ummah did. ❤️

NOTE Some are observing Laylat al-Bara'ah on Tuesday night and fasting Wednesday, others will complete the adab on Wednesday night and fast Thursday. ❤️❤️❤️
