. What is all about Rajab. Rajab is derived from the word Rajaba meaning to respect. This is one of the four sacred months in which fighting was forbidden prior to Islam. It is also known as Rajab al Fard where Fard means alone, because this month comes alone, separated from the other three consecutive sacred months. This month is also deemed to be a prelude to the month of Ramadan, because the month of Ramadan follows it after the intervening month of Sha’baan. Therefore, when the Holy Prophet (SAW) sighted the moon of Rajab, he used to pray to Allah (SWT) “O Allah, make the month of Rajab and Sha’baan blessed for us and let us reach the month of Ramadan (ie prolong our life upto Ramadan so that we may benefit from its merits and blessings).” There are several events related to this month which have no religious significance associated with them. No specific ways of worship have been prescribed by the Shari’ah for this month; however some special rituals and practices have been invented which are not supported by reliable resources and are based on unauthentic traditions and are classified as innovation. These include increasing worship throughout the month of Rajab, celebrating the night journey of the Holy Prophet (SAW) to al-Quds, Jerusalem and from there his ascension to the Heavens on the 26th of the month and performing a sacrificial offering on the 27th of Rajab and then standing in voluntary prayer throughout the night. All these has no authentic source. We can step up our efforts in fasting on Mondays and Thursdays and also 3 white days of 13th/14th, 14th/15, and 15th/16th. Please note: Facebook & Whatsapp makes me seem More Religious than I actually am. Please dont view me as Super Knowledgeable or Superior than any of you. My Islamic Knowledge is like a Droplet of water, very Little. I can put Words together by Allahs will and most at time write from scholars books and copy with editing from lectures of prominent sheikhs. My Actions are Weaker. I have Flaws, Shortcomings and make Mistakes Daily, make Dua for me? I am trying Daily to Improve. Dont Admire me, Admire the ONE who Created me. Allah is Perfect, AMAZING and our Protector. May Allah make our Intentions pure and give us Taqwa Online so we become Jannah Focused Amin. We ask Allah to bless us and keep guiding us all. Amin.
