Nisfu Syaban occurs on the 15th of the month of Syaban in the Hijri calendar. In the year 2024, Nisfu Syaban will coincide with the date of February 25. However, the date transition in the Hijri calendar takes place at sunset, so starting from the night of February 24, we will already enter the 15th of Syaban.

The history of the commemoration of Nisfu Syaban first appeared among the Tabi'in in the region of Syam, such as Khalid bin Ma'dan, Makhul, Luqman bin 'Amir, and others. They began to glorify the night of Nisfu Syaban by increasing their worship during that moment.

The historian Al-Imam Al-Qasthalani also noted that the celebration of the night of Nisfu Syaban was first carried out by the Tabi'in from the region of Sham, such as Khalid bin Ma'dan and Makhul, who were very diligent in worshiping on that night.
