Virtues of Rajab

The Holy Month of Rajab
Rajab is one of the four months declared sacred by Allah in the Holy Qur’an.
Special prayers and Aa’maal that can be prayed and carried out on any day or daily for this month reached us on the authority of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.), Imam Ali (A.S.), Imam Ali Al-Zaynul A’abideen (A.S.), Imam Ja’far as Sadiq (A.S.) and Imam Saahibuz Zamaan (A.S.), are given below:
1. The month of Rajab, in its superabundant favors and benefits, reverence and sanctity, is next to none. It is linked to Almighty Allah as Sha’aban to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) and Ramadan to his Ummah.
2. Whoso observes fast (even one day) during the month of Rajab gets Allah’s pleasure.
3. Ask forgiveness and turn repentant to Allah as much as you can because mercy drops from the heaven like a gentle rain in the month of Rajab (also known as “As’abb”- pouring out, full of love and kindness).
4. Allah shall forgive and have mercy on him who recites:
‘Astaghfirulaahallad’ee Laa Ilaaha Ilaa Huwa Wah’dahoo La Shareeka Lahoo Wa Atoobu Ilayh (I ask forgiveness of Allah, who is “There is no God save He, and no other; has no partner”; and I turn repentant to Him)’ at least 100 times (400 times will accrue more rewards), and recites “Laa Ilaaha Illallaah” 1000 times, during the month of Rajab, and gives alms in the name of Allah at the completion.
5. Recite Surah Al-Ikhlas at least 100 times (1000 or 10000 times will accrue more rewards) in the month of Rajab.
Merits of Fasting In Rajab:
Rajab marks the beginning of the spiritual season of every believer ending with the end of the fasting month of Ramadan with the Eid Al-Fitr. These three months are unmatched in their importance.
Praise be to the Almighty and thanks to Him for granting us yet another opportunity to cleanse ourselves of our sins and oversights.
The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said:”Rajab is a great month of Allah, unmatched by any other month in the respect and significance (accorded to it); war with the infidels during this month is prohibited; Verily, Rajab is Allah’s month, Sha’aban my month and Ramadan the month of my Ummah; whosoever fasts a day in the month of Rajab will be granted the great reward of Ridwan (an angel in heaven); the wrath of Allah shall be distanced and a door of the Hell shall be closed.”
Fasting is one of the most recommended acts during this spiritual season. It becomes Wajib during the month of Ramadan, but is highly recommended during the months of Rajab and Sha’baan. As will be noted from the Hadith above and others to follow, fasting, be it for only one day during these months, is rewarded with untold bounties.
