MUARA NAVAL BASE, MONDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2026 - The Royal Brunei Navy (RBN) held a Nisfu Syaaban Ceremony at Surau Al-Huda, Muara Naval Base, to commemorate Malam Nisfu Syaaban 1447H.
Present at the ceremony was Yang Mulia First Admiral Sahibul Bahari bin Haji Zainal Abidin, Commander of the Royal Brunei Navy, as the Guest of Honour. Also in attendance were members of the RBN Board of Executives (BETL), Senior Officers, Officers and personnel of the Royal Brunei Navy.
The ceremony commenced with the performance of the Maghrib prayer in congregation, followed by the Sunat Hajat prayer and the recitation of Surah Yaasin three (03) times. The first recitation was intended to seek good health and longevity from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta‘ala so as to increase devotion and good deeds; the second recitation was intended to seek blessings and an increase in sustenance (rizq); while the third recitation was intended to seek steadfastness in faith and a good ending (Husnul Khotimah). The ceremony concluded with the performance of the Isya’ prayer in congregation.
The month of Syaaban is a significant and highly regarded month in the Islamic calendar, as Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam (SAW) was known to observe frequent fasting during this month. This practice serves as a reminder for Muslims to enhance their spiritual preparation and physical readiness in anticipation of the forthcoming holy month of Ramadhan.
