In previous years, as the set time of Thursday meetings coincided with the Maghrib Adhan, and also as fasting days were long, not leaving good time after breakfast for the students to gather for the meeting, no meeting was set for the holy Ramadan while all loved to had attended LSS meeting at least once a week. Therefore, we will discuss about the ideas on how to keep the programmes of LSS ongoing during holy Ramadan. LSS, thus, invites all the members to kindly make their programme to attend this Thursday meeting so as to successfully schedule for holy Ramadan. However, LSS, due to its limited resources, reserves this right to waive meetings during holy Ramadan.
The moon crescent is getting thinner and thinner to end Sha’baan and deliver the opportunities of the faithful brothers and sisters to holy Ramadan. However, still Sha’baan is on, and it is to us to do our best to gain further boons and gifts of this bounteous month. Having been said from Imam Ridha (PBUH), the Almighty Allah releases lots of His servants from the fire flames they have created due to their faults just to greet and respect holy Ramadan. Again, fasting the final three days of Sha’baan, and fasting on the last Friday of Sha’baan has been highly advised by Imam Ridha (PBUH). He has asked us to find our own way to get rid of the effects of the faults we have made. For instance, whispering the following dua (which can be used within Qonut section of daily prayers) has been recommended:
اللـّهُمَ اِن لــَم تـَکـُن غـَفـَرتَ لـَنا فیما مـَضی مـِن شـَعبان، فـَاغـفـِرلـَنا فیما بـَقـِیَ مـِنه
Please have a look to your Mafaatih for further information about the final days of Sha’baan.
Hope to see you all again.

Quran Recitation
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Quran Recitation Gifted to Imam Mahdi (May the Almighty Allah Hasten His Advent)
Dear faithful brothers and sisters,
Hope you enjoy minutes of Sha’baan al-Mo’azzam, the month of the Messenger of Allah. Probably, further to the spiritual position of this months preceding holy Ramadan which could interpret its relation the Prophet, five of the Prophet’s sons have been born in this month to give this honour to the sons of Adam Abu-ul-Bashar (PBUH) concurrency of life with the purposes of the whole creation. We have just passed three outstanding birthday anniversaries of three VIPs of Karbala, are waiting for another one of them and to another birthday anniversary which relates to a person whose movement will direct the world finally, and this will, by the will of God, take place in a near future.
To highlight this, and to gain best of ours from these moments, Essa, one of LSS members, has planned a full round recitation of Quran to be gifted to Imam Mahdi (PBUH) with the hope of pleasing him. Those who are interested to assist him and contribute in getting their share of this great work should text their interest to Essa on 07747786812. If you are intending a particular part (joz’) of Quran to recite, mention it in your text message, and that will be taken subject to availability. Otherwise, Essa will inform you which part you would better to recite to complete the circle. Since this decision was made in the afternoon of July 17th, 15 parts of Quran were quickly taken until midnight. Those who cannot text Essa can leave a comment on the post. The comments will be dealt with as soon as possible to assign the parts. Please note that reciting the part assigned to you must be accomplished before Sha’baan al-Mo’azzam 15th.
May the Almighty Allah hasten the advent of our Imam (PBUH), gift mutually your gifts to His Hojjah, and make the lovely heart of our Imam (PBUH) happy with us.
Let’s pray for each other, for the faithful men and women either passed away or alive, and for visiting our Imam (PBUH) with a smile on his bright face very soon.

Sha’baan al-Mo’azzam
In the Name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful
Sha’baan, the Month of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF)
Sha’baan, as the month of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF), has just started offering its boons and blessing to people, and we are to get our benefits out of this opportunity. In summary, let’s try the duas of Sha’baan, whispering with the Almighty Allah and invocation, as such opportunities may not be obtainable again. Let’s keep praying for our brothers and sisters, and more importantly, for the advent of our Imam, al-Hujjah (PBUH).
Sha’baan has got another meaning; Holy Ramadan is approaching. We are supposed to prepare ourselves for Ramadan from now, as that feast is not missable. LSS would be heartily thankful if you could send your ideas about how LSS could be of more benefit during Holy Ramadan to <info@liverpool-shia.com>. Your ideas are highly appreciated and will be considered and dealt with extra care. We are looking forward to receiving your ideas in this regard.
