Shabaan Month Rites
Duas and Aamal during the month of Shaban
Excellences of Month
General Amaal for the month of Sha'aban
FASTING
Imam Ali bin Husayn Al Zainul Abideen (as) told his companions: “The Holy Prophet (saw) used to observe fast during the whole month of Sha’-ban. Therefore whosoever, in love of the Holy Prophet (saw), wishes to seek nearness to Allah and receive bounties, favours and rewards in this world and in the Hereafter, must connect Sha’ban with Ramadhan (in the matter of fasting and special prayers).
CHARITY
“What are the best deeds that should be done in Sha`ban.” The Imam (a.s) answered, “Almsgiving and seeking forgiveness are the best deeds in Sha`ban. Verily, if anyone of you gives alms in Sha`ban, Almighty Allah will breed that alms in the very same way as you breed your small camels. Hence, this alms will be as huge as Mount Uhud on the Resurrection Day.” It is a rescue from Hell Fire
Seek Forgiveness
According to narrations, the best supplications and invocations that are recited in Sha`ban are the prayers of seeking forgiveness of Almighty Allah (i.e. istighfar). Hence, to seek Almighty Allah’s forgiveness seventy times a day in Sha`ban is equal to seeking His forgiveness seventy Thousand times a day in the other months
.Recite 70 times each day :
اسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ وَاسْالُهُ ٱلتَّوْبَة
astagfirullaaha wa as-aluhut tawbah  
I seek forgiveness of Allah, and, repentant, beseech Him. 

اسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِي لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ ٱلرَحْمٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٱلْحَيُّ   ٱلْقَيُّوْمُ  وَاتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
astaghfirullaahallad’ee laa ilaaha illa huwar rahmano rah’eemul h’ayyul qayyoomu wa atoobu ilayhi
I seek forgiveness of Allah who is “There is no God save  He”, the Beneficent, the Merciful; the Ever living, the Eternal, and I turn repentant to Him
Recite the following 1000 times, whenever the count reaches 1000, at any time within the month, the a’mal is complete
لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ  وَلاَ نَعْبُدُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُون
laa ilaaha illallaahu  wa laa naa’-budu illaa iyyaahu mukhlis’eena lahud deen wa law karihal mushrikoon
There is no god save Allah. We do not worship save “He” alone, making religion pure for Him (only), however much the disbelievers be averse.
Recite the following every night after 15th.
اللّهُمَّ إنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ غَفَرْتَ لَنَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ.
Allaahumma In Lam Takun Ghafarta Lanaa Feema Maz”aa Min Shaa’baana Faghfirlanaa Feema Baqiya Minhu
O Allah if Thou has not forgiven us during the previous days of Shaban, then please be merciful to us in the days now follow
On every Thursday Fasting is recommended and Recite 2 Rak-a’t Salat. In every Rak-a’t, after the recitation of Soorah Al Faatih’ah, recite Soorah Al Ikhlaas 100 times. After the Salaam recite Salawaat 100 times
The report adds that God Almighty fulfills a score of their needs relating to the world and score of needs relating to the hereafter,
Traditions state that heavens are adorned every thursday of Shaban month & angels plead with God to forgive those who fast on it & answer their supplications
Recite the Special Salawaat taught by Imam Ali bin Husayn Al Zaynul Aabideen (as)daily at Noon
Recite Salwat as much as possible
Recite the Recite Munajat e Shabaniyah with presence of heart.
Holy Prophet Muhammad al Mustafā (saws) said "If a person recites in the month of Sha’ban a 4 units (Rak’ats) Namaz , such that in each unit (Rak’at) after Surah-al-Hamd recites 50 times Surah-at-Tawheed, then during death his spirit will be removed with ease, and his grave will become spacious, and on the day of Qiyamat when he comes out of his grave, his face will be shining bright like a full moon and ‘Kalmae Shahadat’ will be on his lips."
Recite Holy Quran as much as you can. When Abū Salt al-Harawī visited Imam Ali al-Ridā as in the last week of Sha‘bān, the Imam advised him saying: O Abū Salt . . . devote yourself to what is beneficial for you. Supplicate a lot and do istighfār. Read as much of the Glorious Quran as you can.

Special Salat for each night of Shaban

On Every Friday in Shaban Recite Ziarat Jamia Kabira ( Madrasatul Qaim as per Ayt Qadhi Tabatabai teacher of Irfaniyat to Imam Khomeini.

Please let it be a source of bliss, security, forgiveness and pleasure, and as a means to fend off dangers during it. Please let it be a means of protection from those who disobey and accuse. Please honor us for performing its ceremonies and let us be covered by Your Mercy and Benevolence during it.

Imam al-Rida (a.s) is reported as saying, “If one observes fasting on the last three days of Sha`ban and attach it to the obligatory fasting of Ramadan, Almighty Allah will decide his as observing fasting in two consecutive months.”
Abu’l-Salt al-Harawiy has narrated that when he visited Imam al-Rida (a.s) on the last Friday of Sha`ban, the Imam said to him, “Abu’l-Salt: The majority of Sha`ban has passed. This is the last Friday in it. You should thus settle what you have missed in this month by working hard in the rest of it. You may supplicate, seek forgiveness of Almighty Allah, recite the Holy Qur'an, and repent before Almighty Allah from your sins so that you receive the month of Ramadan with pure sincerity to Almighty Allah. You must fulfill all the trusts that you are liable to settle; and do not bear malice against any of your brethren-in-faith; and you must give up any sin that you commit. Fear Almighty Allah and trust in Him in secret and openly, for ‘If any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion. 65/3’
In the rest days of Sha`ban, you may repeat the following supplication very much for Almighty Allah saves many people from Hellfire on account of the sanctity of this month:
اللّهُمَّ إنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ غَفَرْتَ لَنَا فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْ شَعْبَانَ
allahumma in lam takun ghafarta lana fima mada min sha`bana
O Allah: If You have not forgiven us in the past days of Sha`ban,
فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ.
faghfir lana fima baqiya minhu
(please do) forgive us in the rest of it.
Shaban Thursday - How to end Shaban month
Several narrations were reported which stated that the deeds performed in each month are taken up towards God on its last Thursday. Thus, it is best for you to try to purify your inner thoughts which are the basis for the approval or lack of approval of your deeds on the last Thursday of Sha'ban since the value of man‟s deeds is based on his intention.
And also try to compensate for the deeds which you have not done and complete them as much as you can and offer them to the Threshold of the Almighty God like one who is afraid of his deeds being rejected.
If we get more happy when we are granted our worldly requests or when we engage in natural worldly lusts of this world compared to what is near the Almighty God, or we get more pleased when our temporary needs are fulfilled compared to when we serve and obey the Almighty God then this is an indication of the deficiency of our deeds. This is a clear sign of an illness and it is improbable for our deeds to be free of problems.
Also pay attention to the fact that you offer your deeds for gaining the reward of the Merciful God to the ones ( Ahlulbayt(as) ) upon whom the deeds of all is offered in the last Thursday of Sha‟ban.
Thus, on the last Thursday of Sha'ban you should offer your deeds to those to whom deeds are offered in order to get rewards from the Merciful God. You should offer your deeds to them like a guest, a worshipper, a servant who is fleeing from himself and his own temptations, one who seeks refuge in the shadow of his Master‟s justice and grabs unto His Majesty and Benevolence.
You should also offer your deeds with caution in each part of this month in addition to offering them on the last Thursday of this month
