The hadith of Baihaki's riwahat states that another virtue of this Nisfu Shaban night is '(Grace) Allah descends to Earth on the night of Nisfu Shaban. He will forgive everything except the sins of polytheists and those in whose hearts there is hatred (hypocrisy)'.
- The Night of Answered Prayers
If you have a wish, then tonight is the right time to ask Allah SWT to grant your wish. In fact, not only for specific matters, Muslims can also make tonight the right time to repent and ask for His guidance.

- Make more Istighfar
Muslims are encouraged to make istighfar more. Humans are not spared from prayer, so it is necessary to ask forgiveness from Allah SWT to be given forgiveness.

On this special night, Muslims are encouraged to increase dhikr. Muslims can say takbir and tahmid 100 times. Then proceed with the Prophet's salawat 100 times and other dhikr to Allah SWT.
- Reading the Nisfu Syaban prayer
Finally, you can close it with a prayer that can be said in the work of Mufti Betawi Sayyid Uthman bin Yahya in the Book of Maslakul Akyar. The prayer is as follows:
Allahumma ya dzal manni wa la yumannu 'alaik, ya dzal jalali wal ikram, ya dzat thawli wal in'am, la ilaha illa anta zhahral lajin wa jaral mustajirin wa ma'manal kha'ifin.
Allahumma in kunta katabtani 'indaka fî ummil kitabi shaqiyyan aw mahruman aw muqtarran 'alayya fir rizqi, famhullahumma fî ummil kitabi syaqawati wa hirmani waqtitara rizqi, timing bni 'indaka sa'idan marzuqan muwaffaqan lil khairat.
Fa innaka qulta wa qawlukal haqqu fî kitâbikal munzal 'alâ lisâni nabiyyikal mursal, “yamhullâhu mâ yasyâ'u wa yutsbitu, wa 'indahû ummul kitâb” wa shallallâhu 'alâ sayyidinâ muhammad wa alâ âlihî wa shahbihî wa sallama, walhamdu lillâhi rabbil 'alamîn.
Means:
O my God who is the giver, you are not given. O God of greatness and glory. O God, giver of all wealth and all favors. There is no god but You, the strength of those who ask for help, the protection of those who seek refuge, and the safe haven of those who are afraid.
My Lord, if You record me by Your side on the Tablets of Mahfuzh as a wretched person, unlucky, or a person with limited sustenance, then erase my accidents, bad luck, and my narrowness in the Lauh Mahfuzh.
Record me by Your side as a person who is lucky, generous in sustenance, and taufiq to do good because You have said-while Your words are true-in Your book which was revealed through the words of Your messenger Messenger, 'Allah erases and determines what He want. By His side Lauhulmahfuzh.' May Allah send blessings on Sayyidina Muhammad SAW and his family and friends. All praise be to Allah SWT.
These are the benefits and practices of Nisfu Syaban night. Hopefully you can practice it. [DDHK News]
