About this day
Two rakas are listed for the first night of Shaban, though the sources differ on the recitation, one giving al-Ikhlas eleven times and the other three. A separate set of twelve rakas belongs to the first day of the month and to the eve of the 12th, not to this night. As a night observance this begins at maghrib, before the first day itself.
