Rejab

Salam...
Friends, you know today is the first Rejab 1430 hijrah
Another 2 month all of muslims will fasting a month and another 3 month we will celebrate Hari Raya Eidulfitri

Many of the hadiths reported about the worth and merit of Rejab are either weak or fabricated. However, we should remember that there are many important events in Islamic history that took place in the month of Rejab, such as the Night Journey and Ascension (Israa’ and Mi`raj), the Battle of Tabuk, and the liberation of Al-Aqsa Mosque from the crusaders at the hands of Salah Ad-Din Al-Ayyubi. All of Muslims should recall these great victories and derive lessons from them.

It has bee mentioned by Abul Fath ibn Abil-Fawaris in his Amali (dictations and transmissions) and Allama Suyuti has also mentioned in his Jami Saghir from Hasan Basri that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said,

"Rajab is the month of Allah. Sya'aban is my month. Ramadhan is the month of my ummah (followers)."

From the above hadith, it shows that it is preferable to make do'a, to remain in the coming and following months, in order to perform good actions in them, because a true believer increases in his age with goodness. The best of people is the one who lives long and performs good actions.

There is no doubt that the month of Rajab is the key to the opening of the months of goodness and blessing.

Abu Bakr Warraq (May Allah be pleased with him) said,

"Rajab is a month of cultivation, Shaban is month of irrigating the fields, and the month of Ramadhan is a month of reaping and harvesting."

The summary is, that the month of Rejab is a sacred month and the first, virtuous and noble of them all. So it is appropriate to celebrate it ENTIRELY and to give attention to it by performing good acts, and refraining oneself from sins and offensive things, because it is the month of Allah.

It has been mentioned that Allah said,

"Fasting is for me and I will recompense one for it."

Fasting in the month of Rajab prevents one from sins, let alone refraining one from killing and having enmity towards the enemy (which this month was made sacred for), like it was practised by the people in the ignorant (jahili) period.

So friends, make sure our activities in the direct way.
Have a good day...
