Shaban is the eighth month on the Islamic calendar. Rajab is the month of Isra and Miraj, the night journey and ascension and is just before the blessed month of Ramadan. The auspiciousness of both Rajab and Ramadan can sometimes overshadow Shaban.

In Islam, neighbors are not just the people who live nearby – strangers whose mail we occasionally receive by accident or whose pets or children sometimes run into our yard. Our neighbors have rights on us, and Allah commands us to be kind to them:
