The fifteenth night of this month is known as laylatul-bara’ah (the Night of Innocence) or laylat un-nisf min Shaban (the Middle Night of Shaban or shab-e-barat). \nIt has been narrated that the Messenger of Allah\, blessings and peace be upon him\, said: “There are five nights on which dua is not rejected: the first night of Rajab\, the fifteenth night of Sha‘ban\, Thursday night\, the night before Eid al Fitr and the night before Eid al Nahr (al Adha).” (al Suyuti) \nLocally\, for those who follow moonsighting\, the 15th night of Shaban is Thursday night (March 17). This is a special night for making dua and other acts of worship. It is also recommended to fast on the 15th day of Shaban (Friday\, March 18). \nFor more information\, see the following links: \n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://seekersguidance.org/tag/15th-shaban\nhttps://muwasala.org/2015/05/17/merits-of-shaban\n\n\n\n\nThe Prophet (PBUH) said: “Allah looks at His creation in the night of mid-Sha’ban and He forgives all His creation except for a mushrik (idolater) or a mushahin (one bent on hatred).” \nIt is the night when our provision for the coming year is determined\, and also a night of forgiveness.  We recommend you do special dhikr\, prayers at night\, as well as to ask for forgiveness. We also recommend for you to fast on the 15th of Shaban (Friday\, March 18).

SUMMARY:Zakat & Fasting for Children
DESCRIPTION:Children’s Author Aisha Gray Henry\, the charismatic founder of the Ghazali’s Children Project\, talks to our children about the timeless teachings of Al Ghazali in this two-part pre-Ramadan workshop series: \n\nApril 2: the special things about fasting that you never knew\nApril 9: a surprise story about how children can participate in Zakat (charity)\n\nSundays | 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. | Free | Register at mcceastbay.org/ghazali \nSponsored by Fons Vitae and MCC \nWatch: ‘Polishing the Heart’ – a major new documentary on the Ghazali Children’s Project documentary and Muslim children’s education. \n\nTrailer:  (2 mins) YouTube.com/watch?v=Czwvo-pERRk\nDocumentary:  (29 mins) https://conta.cc/3bHoUh2\nhttps://youtu.be/Sly38fCkeb0\nMore Sister Virginia Gray Henry: https://mcceastbay.org/aisha\n\nParents are encouraged to join with their children. Children of any age may join. The sessions are especially recommended for children 6 to 9. Sr. Aisha also highly encourages parents to have “The Book of Knowledge for Children” on hand during these sessions. Purchase the series here. \nShaykh Hamza Yusuf says about this book: “This work can help our Muslim children have a more humane and universal understanding of the ethics and teachings of Islam through Imam al-Ghazali. I believe the work is highly relevant and very likely life-altering for those who will be exposed to it early.” \n\nWatch Sister Aisha’s visit to the MCC Sunday School here.\n\nAbout the Author\nAisha Gray-Henry is the Founder and Director of the charitable foundation and publishing company Fons Vitae. Fons Vitae is currently engaged in the monumental task of bringing out Ghazali’s Ihya in readable English for parents and teachers as well as adapting it to accommodate children’s workbooks\, school curricula\, and an instructional DVD. The Book of Knowledge and The Principles of the Creed educational sets are available and in use internationally with Purity and Prayer nearing completion. Included is a children’s interactive website www.GhazaliChildren.org\, a pilot school project and prison program. Translations into Urdu\, Arabic\, and Malay are underway. The Fons Vitae Ghazali Project has been launched with great acclaim in Morocco\, Canada\, Indonesia\, England\, and the USA so far. \nWho is Al Ghazali?\nAn alchemist is a person who can create gold from base metals. It is a quest as old as legend. The truth is that alchemy exists\, but not of base metals\, but of the human heart. \nImam al-Ghazali (1058-1111 CE) is probably one of the greatest alchemists of all time. And in an epoch where the human condition is in its direst straits\, never more has there been a need for the chemistry of Imam al-Ghazali. \nA theologian\, jurist\, philosopher\, mystic and polymath\, Abu Hamid Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Ghazali is not only ranked amongst Islam’s finest scholars\, but is one of mankind’s finest students of the human condition. Known as Algazel to the mediaeval world\, he was born in Tus\, the Khorasan province of ancient Persia. \nWhen he had the academic world at his feet in his early thirties\, he spurned fame and fortune to go into a mode of self-denial and spiritual seclusion that lasted for many years. \nAlready an acknowledged master of Holy Law\, he re-entered society a practiced Sufi – a true gnostic. A genius\, Imam al-Ghazali was fully proficient in Greek and Roman philosophy\, and he debunked its central tenets\, proving that Revelation was always going to be superior to human reason. Human thinking could never evolve\, he wrote\, in an existential vacuum. \nIt was all of this that prompted him to write his magnus-opus\, the Ihya ‘Ulumad-Din (the Revival of the Religious Sciences). It is today regarded as one of the classic works on the human psyche. In the Ihya the author explains step-by-step how to turn one’s base instincts and desires into the golden ideal. \nToday’s modern world – devolved of spirituality and fraught with destructive ills such as materialism\, multi-national greed and violence – is in need of people like Imam al-Ghazali. This is because Imam al-Ghazali teaches a way to balance the body and the soul\, thus allowing us to reconcile modernity with spirituality in its very broadest\, and most universal\, sense.
