….Whoever keeps one fast in the month of ‘Rajab’,
Allah will let him quench his thirst by drinking from that river (named rajab
–whiter than milk and sweeter than honey). [Shu’ab al-Imaan,
Vol. 3, Page 367, Hadith 3800]
There is a day and a night in the month of Rajab
in which if a person fasts during the dayand stands (for worship) in the night,
it will be as if he fasted for one hundred years. This is the 27th of Rajab.
This is the day on which the beloved of Allah was given Prophethood.’ [Shu’ab al-Imaan, Vol. 3, Page 374, Hadith 3811]
The fast of the first day of Rajab is penitence
for 3 years, the fast of the second day is penitence for 2 years and the fast
of the third day is penitence for 1 year and then each remaining day of Rajab
is penitence for 1 month. [Jami’ as-Sagheer,
Hadith 5051, Page 311]
Rajab is a very honourable month. Allah doubles
the rewards in this month. Whoever fasts for a day in Rajab, it is as if he
fasted a year and whoever fasts for seven days, the seven gates of Hell are
closed for him. Whoever fasts for eight days, the eight gates of Heaven are
opened for him and whoever fasts for ten days will be given anything that he
asks for from Allah. For whoever fasts for fifteen days, a caller will call out
from the sky, ‘Verily you have been forgiven whatever is past, so renew your
good actions.’ Whoever does more, Allah gives him more. Allah transported Nuh
(Alahye Salam) in the ark in this month and Nuh (Alayhe Salam) fasted and
ordered all those with him to fast.’ [Tabaraani, Mu’jam
al-Kabeer, Vol. 6, Page 69, Hadith 5538]
There is a night in Rajab in which if someone
performs a good deed, he will receive the reward of doing good deeds for 100
years and that is the 27th night of Rajab. Whoever prays 12 rak’ats, recites
Sura Fatiha once in every rak’at plus another Sura, ‘Attihiyyat…’ after every 2
rak’ats and after performing salaam on either side he reads سبحان الله والحمد لله ولاإله إلاالله والله
أكبر Hundred (100) times, Istighfaar 100 times, Durood Shareef 100 times
and then supplicates Allah for whatever he wishes (to gain in the world and
afterlife) and then fasts the following day, Allah will accept all of his
supplications except the supplication which is for a sin. [Shu’ab al-Imaan, Vol. 3, Page 374, Hadith 3812]
The one who observes fasts for three days i.e.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the months of Hurmah (Means: Zul Qadah, Zul
Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab), the reward of two years of worship will be
registered for him. [Al-Mu’jam al-Aswat,
Vol. 1, Page 485, Hadith 1789]
Ibn Majah and Ahmad, hadith of the man who
repeats: “I can bear more,” and to whom the Prophet (saws) finally
says: “Fast during the sacred months.”
It is established that Ibn `Umar fasted during the sacred months: Musannaf `Abd
al-Razzaq 4:293, Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 1:125.
“There is a palace in Paradise for those who fast the month of
Rajab.” (Bayhaqi relates in Shu`ab al-iman (#3802))
There are five nights in which Du’a (supplication) is not rejected:
1. The first night of Rajab,
2. The 15th night of Sha’ban,
3. The night between Thursday and Friday,
4. The night of Eid al-Fitr and
5. The night of Eid al-Adha (the 10th Dhu al-Hijjah). [Tarikh Dimishq li-Ibn ‘Asaakir, Vol. 10, Page 408]
Sayyiduna Abu
Qilaba Tabi’ee Radi Allahu Anhu says, “There is a grand
palace in Heaven for those who fast in Rajab.” [Shu’ab al-Imaan, Vol. 3, Page 368, Hadith 3802]
Imam al-Nawawi said: “Neither prohibition nor
praiseworthiness has been established for the month of Rajab in itself,
HOWEVER,
(1) the principle concerning fasting is that it is praiseworthy in itself, and
(2) in the Sunan of Abu Dawud the Prophet has made the fasting of the sacred
months praiseworthy, and Rajab is one of them.” (Sharh Sahih Muslim Kitab
13 Bab 34 #179.)
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
