Isra NEWS Agency: On the occasion of the arrival of the last ten days of the month of Shaban, we are reviewing some of the sayings of Hazrat Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli regarding the need to calculate one's self and prepare as much as possible for the divine feast in the holy month of Ramadan.

Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli stated,"The blessed month of Sha'ban, which we are in the last days of, is the end of the year according to traditions and supplications. The secret is the wayfarer has a year, they told us: " Hold yourselves for judgement before you get judged" that's why you should be calculating yourself! "And weight your action before brought you to the scale".[1] This is one of the enlightening statements of Hazrat Amir (peace be upon him), he said, weigh yourself before they weigh you! You see, they told us to weigh our action. after all, every businessman determines his profit and loss at the end of the year. This business

﴿لَنْتَبُورَ﴾، [2]

﴿فَمارَبِحَتْتِجارَتُهُمْ﴾، [3]

 ﴿هَلْأَدُلُّكُمْعَلیتِجارَةٍتُنْجیكُمْمِنْعَذابٍأَلیمٍ﴾[4] All this shows that the enlightened expression of Imam Hadi (peace be upon him) which said: "The world is a market. Some benefite and some people loss " [5] so we are engaged in business, We give a capital called life and we must receive something. The first of the year is the first of the blessed month of Ramadan, and the last of the year is the month of Sha'ban; Therefore, you can see that these people, who are wayfarer of Allah, in the month of Sha'ban are very much in "hurry" that a year has passed, what should we do. So, in the supplication of Sha'ban we say «اَللّهُمَّاِنْلَمْتَكُنْغَفَرْتَلَنافیمامَضی‏مِنْشَعْبانَ»، [5] "O Allah, if you did not forgive us in what passed from Sha'ban",[6] this is not in the supplication of other months, O God! If you don't forgive us in the month of Rabi, forgive us until the end of the month, it is not the same in the month of Jumadi, but in the month of Sha'ban it is like this: "O Allah, if you did not forgive us in passed days of Sha'ban, forgive us in the rest of it." God! If you have not forgiven us so far, from now on, make us subject to your mercy! Because it is the end of the year."

He pointed out,"The blessed month of Sha'ban - especially - has something like this, and according to these traditions and supplications the end of the year recorded by the blessed existence of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family and peace be upon him). In terms of geography, a corner of the worldis under the name of Mubarak Hazrat that  أُقسمُبهذاالبلادِ ٭ وَانتَحلٌبهآالْبالدِ﴾[7] and a corner of time was also recorded in the name of Mubarak that Hazrat; That is, in the name of the month of Sha'ban, which covers this corner of time, because it is the end of the year and all the months are towards the end, because Makkah is Umm al-Qura, all places are towards Makkah, and if Allah says ﴿لا أُقْسِمُبِهذَاالْبَلَدِ﴾; this means, the whole of Al-Qura. if «هَذَاشَهْرُنَبِیك‏»"this is the month of your prophet", it means that all the "Month" are for him, because he registered the last one in his name. This time and that place was named after him by Allah Almighty; this means, he who is owner of the time took this time, he who is owner of all places took this place.
