Ending the Hijri Year with Istighfar and Fasting
There is no suggestion that at the end of an old year or the beginning of a new year the records of deeds are closed and deeds are shown to Allah. Rather, deeds are shown to Allah twice daily, twice weekly and once yearly in Sha`ban. The texts indicate that the way of Prophet Muhammad is to do more acts of obedience at those times.
