April 27, 2018 15th of Shaban - Forgive to be Forgiven
The Prophet (S) said, "Indeed Allah looks upon the people on the 15th of Shaban and forgives everyone except a polytheist or a mushahin" (Narrated by ibn Majah, authenticated by Sh Al-Albani)
This khutbah explains why we must forgive others in Shaban to be forgiven by Allah:
- Who is a mushahin? Like the ship filled with people (al-fulk al-mashoon), it is someone who is filled with animosity towards another person.
- Examples of forgiveness from the life of the Prophet
- Example of forgiveness from Abu Bakr
