The three words story
by ALL OF US
There was once a little robot who had no idea who he was exactly because he was born as a robot, at the canal made by a crazy farmer who eats frogs that mated with a cow (by the) dead sea and give birth to a cow-looking frog, ugly but adorable but couldn't leap over a toadstool because their legs were wobbly and bowlegged like Crookshanks. So the robot carried frog and kissed it, causing the frog to puke and starts to get a little high.

Then the frog was ever (so) shocked when it saw the robot explode like stars scattered in the sky. Months passed by........

Fasting in the month of Syaaban
by Bro Saifudin
"Narrated from Usamah bin Zaid r.a. who said: I have not seen yourself fast as I see you fast in the month of Syaaban! Prophet pbuh said: This month is oft forgotten by the people between Rejab and Ramadhan, and it is in this month that our deeds are presented to God of the universe. And I want my deeds to go while I am fasting." (Narrated by Abu Daud and Nasa’l, and said true by ibnu Khuzaimah)

Voluntary fasting in this month of Syaaban is one of the most essential practice. Rasullulah never limited nor recommended that his umat fast in the month of Syaaban. The Prophet himself made this a practice, as told in a hadith narrated by Sayidina Aisyah ra:

That means: “From ‘Aisyah Radiallahu ‘anh, she said: I have never seen Rasullulah s.a.w. complete his fast of one month, but in the month of Ramadhan, and I have never seen him fast more in other months except the month of Syaaban”. (Hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

From this hadith, it is clear to us that Rasullulah saw did not fast for a full month except in Ramadhan, and he did not fast as many days as he did in the month of Syaaban.

Let us try to fast in this blessed month of Syaaban.
