505. Does Allaah Descend To The First Heaven On The Night Of The 15th Of Sha’baan?

By Asma bint Shameem 

Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala descends to the first heaven as befits His Might and Majesty to the first heaven. That much is true. 

HOWEVER, this does NOT *_only_* happen on the night of the fifteenth of Sha'baan. Rather it happens _*every single night of the year*_.

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said: 
“The Lord descends EVERY NIGHT to the lowest heaven when one-third of the night remains and says: ‘Who will call upon Me, that I may answer Him? Who will ask of Me, that I may give him? Who will seek My forgiveness, that I may forgive him?’” 
(Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Muslim)

That’s the reason why when someone asked  Abdullaah ibn Mubaarak about the descent of Allaah specifically on the night of the fifteenth of Sha'baan, he got upset and scolded him: 
"O weak one! The night of the fifteenth?! He descends every night!" 

Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala descends to the first heaven *every single night* of the year. 

That’s why we’re encouraged to wake up in the last part of the night, EVERY night and pray Tahajjud, beg Allaah for forgiveness and make lots of duaa. 

*Do this EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, not just one night of the year.* 

*Follow the Sunnah; NOT the people.*

And Allah Knows Best
