Studi tentang Hadis Malam Nisfu Sya'ban

Abstract

The glory and privilege month of Sya`ban is because it is the month with full of intercession, forgiveness, and rewards. In this month, man should do a lot of self introspection, because this month is the closing month of Islamic calendar. Prophet Muhammad did a lot of fasting in the month of Sya`ban because he loved when his pious acts were accounted for in the fasting state. There are different opinions, however, when it comes to the status of the 15^th night of Sya`ban: is it a special evening with a special virtue too or it is no more than the rest of Sya`ban nights? This article thus will analyze ulama’s opinions on this matter.
