Rajab رَجَب

Rajab is the seventh month of the Islamic calendar and one of the four sacred months.
According to the famous narration, the Night Journey and Ascension (‘Al Isra’ Wal Mi’raj) occurred on 27th of Rajab, making this month very significant. This journey was where the Prophet Muhammad ‎ﷺ travelled from Makkah to Jerusalem on the Buraq and ascended to heaven to meet Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى, who gave him and the Muslims daily prayers to perform.
Being one of the month of blessings, Muslims should increase fasting & worship and devotion to Allah Almighty in Rajab, in order to earn great rewards.
Rajab and Shaʿbān are a prelude to the holy month of Ramaḍān. Muslim should prepare for Ramadan from the month of Rajab.
O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan.

Hadith of
The Week

On the authority of the mother of the faithful, 'Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

He who innovates something in this matter of ours [Islam] that is not of it will have it rejected [by Allah].

[Bukhari & Muslim]

In one version by Muslim it reads:

He who does an act which we have not commanded, will have it rejected [by Allah].

عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أُمِّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: قَالَ: رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم:

مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ .

[رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ] ، [وَمُسْلِمٌ] .

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِمُسْلِمٍ :

مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَدٌّ" .

Surah
Fatiha

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

All praise is for Allah—Lord of all worlds.

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

The Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Master of the Day of Judgment.

مَـٰلِكِ يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ

You ˹alone˺ we worship and You ˹alone˺ we ask for help.

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

Guide us along the Straight Path.

ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ

The Path of those You have blessed—not those You are displeased with, or those who are astray.

صِرَٰطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ ٱلْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
