Abstract

Nisfu Sya'ban evening worship is a worship practice recommended in Islam, especially in the hadith tradition. This night is considered special because in it there is a great opportunity to get closer to Allah SWT, ask for His forgiveness, and receive His abundant mercy. This article discusses the main objectives of the Nisfu Sya'ban evening worship, especially in the context of improving the quality of faith and piety of Muslims. Through worship on this night, Muslims are expected to be able to strengthen their faith, increase their devotion to Allah SWT, and uphold the traditions of the sunnah worship of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. Apart from that, the Nisfu Sya'ban evening service is also a moment for self-introspection, evaluating actions and intentions, and improving relationships with others and with the creator. By making maximum use of this night, Muslims try to achieve spiritual and moral perfection, and avoid all forms of actions that are not permitted in religion. Therefore, this article also highlights recommended practices and warnings against heresy or innovation in worship. By understanding and carrying out the Nisfu Sya'ban evening worship in accordance with Islamic teachings, it is hoped that Muslims can achieve blessings, safety and peace in their lives.
