Shabaan Thursday and Regular Amaals
i : FASTING :
A Hadith reads that the skies decorate themselves each Thursday in Sha`ban and the angels pray saying,
“O our God, (please do) forgive those who observe fasting on this day and respond to their prayers.”
The Holy Prophet (saws) is also reported as saying,
“If one observes fasting each Monday and Thursday in Sha`ban, Almighty Allah will grant forty of his needs—twenty pertaining to this world and twenty to the Hereafter.”
ii: Give Alms/Charity in HIS name
“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.”
iii: On every Thursday Fasting is recommended & 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.

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 :
I seek forgiveness of Allah, and, repentant, beseech Him.
ASTAGFIRULLAAHA WA AS-ALUHUT TAWBAH
I see 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
ASTAGHFIRULLAAHALLAD’EE LAA ILAAHA ILLA HUWAR RAHMANO RAH’EEMUL H’AYYUL QAYYOOMU WA ATOOBU ILAYHI
7. Recite the following 1000 times,whenever the count reaches 1000, at any time within the month, the a’mal is complete: َ
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.
LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAAHU WA LAA NAA’-BUDU ILLAA IYYAAHU MUKHLIS’EENA LAHUD DEEN WA LAW KARIHAL MUSHRIKOON
ﻻَ ﺇِﻟٰﻪَ ﺇِﻻَّ ٱﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﻭَﻻَ ﻧَﻌْﺒُﺪُ ﺇِﻻَّ ﺇِﻳَّﺎﻩُ ﻣُﺨْﻠِﺼِﻴﻦَ ﻟَﻪُ ٱﻟﺪِّﻳﻦَ ﻭَﻟَﻮْ ﻛَﺮِﻩَ ٱﻟْﻤُﺸْﺮِﻛُﻮﻥ
8: Recite the Special Salawaat taught by Imam Ali bin Husayn Al Zaynul Aabideen (A.S.)
9: Recite Munajat e Shabaniyah with presence of heart.
10: Holy Prophet Muhammad al Mustafā (S.A.W.W) said
"If a person recites 4 units (Rak’ats) Namaz in the month of Sha’ban, 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."
