Lukgaf(m): 7:56am On Jan 03
According to the counting of the NSCIA, today (Friday, 3rd of January, 2025) marks the 3rd day of Rajab, the 7th month of the Hijrah calendar and one of the sacred months in Islam. Rajab is also a reminder that we are just two months away from Ramadan, the blessed month of fasting.

A Reminder About Missed Fasts
For those who have missed fasts from the previous Ramadan, this is a good time to make them up. With Ramadan fast approaching, let us ensure we fulfill our obligations and prepare ourselves spiritually for the blessings ahead.

The Sacred Nature of Rajab
Allah says in the Qur’an:
"Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the of Allah... of these, four are sacred."
(Surah At-Tawbah, 9:36)

Rajab is one of these four sacred months, alongside Dhul-Qa’dah, Dhul-Hijjah, and Muharram. In these months:

- Acts of worship are highly encouraged.
- Sins are considered more severe, and good deeds carry greater rewards.

This is a month to increase in good deeds such as charity, fasting, and Adhkar, and to refrain from wrongdoing.


Common Misconceptions About Rajab

Specific Acts of Worship:
There are no authentic hadiths prescribing specific prayers or fasts unique to Rajab. Any acts of worship, such as fasting or giving charity, should follow the general recommendations in Islam, such as fasting on Mondays and Thursdays or the three white days (13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month).

Innovations in Worship:
Some people engage in special rituals during Rajab, believing they hold specific rewards. These practices lack evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) warned:
"Whoever introduces into this matter of ours (Islam) something that is not part of it, it will be rejected."
(Sahih al-Bukhari 2697, Sahih Muslim 1718)


How to Make the Most of Rajab
Strengthen Your Connection to Allah:
Perform your daily prayers consistently, engage in voluntary fasts, and increase your Adhkar and Qur'an recitation.

Increase in Charity:
Use this sacred month to give to those in need, as charity is a powerful act of worship that pleases Allah.

Prepare for Ramadan:
Rajab serves as a wake-up call. Begin setting goals for Ramadan, whether it’s completing the Qur’an, increasing your prayers, or seeking forgiveness.

🎊 BIDAH IN THE MONTH OF RAJAB 🎉

🎙️ Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (حفظه الله تعالى) was asked the following:

📥 Question:
There are those who single out the month of Rajab with fast; hence, is [there] anything that is confirmed [in the Sunnah to this]?

📤 Answer:
The Shaikh had responded with the following:

"There is nothing that is confirmed from worship that is specific to the month of Rajab; no fasting, no salāḥ, no 'Umrah-absolutely nothing at all specific to it."

"[As for] those who are singling it out with worship, then they are the innovators since they introduced into the deen that which is not from it."

"Thus, Allah and His Messenger did not legislate any specific form of worship in Rajab; no 'Umrah, no animal sacrifice, no standing [in salāḥ] in any specific night and no fasting in any specific day. Rajab is simply like any other (sacred) month."

The month of al-Muḥarram ([like Rajab) is sacred, since it is from the four sacred months.

As for singling it out with worship, then this from innovation.

Quran 9:5
So, as soon as Al-Ashhurul-Hurum have ed, then kill the Mushrikun (Christians and Jews) wherever you found them, and capture them, and keep them under surveillance and establish for them all means for ambush. So if they repented and took a turn (to reform) and established As-Salat and paid up Az-Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, continuously Merciful

😀 Like this below :

Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, “Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple.” So they began by killing the seventy leaders. “Defile the Temple!” the LORD commanded. “Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!” So they went throughout the city and did as they were told.”

(Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)

Sebi you go western school and also attended ile-kewu?

The age said "WHOSE FOREHEAD IS NOT MARKED" and as Muslims your foreheads are marked. Abeg apply sense next time

Let me come down to the level of your ignorance by asking you that is the verse meant for you muslims that your foreheads are all marked?

To whom brain is given, sense is expected. Eru-iku, Oya try again later

😀😀😀😀

Werey !

So those with their head not marked can be killed ?
So your god is evil that he order to massacre them even children ? You are mad .

See ignorant twisting his own Bible Ahaa.

You will explain tire .

Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no comion for the children. (Isaiah 13:15-18 NLT)

Does their head not marked as well ? 😀

Rajab was a holy month of pagans before Islam started. so, you Muslims are only copying pagans.

So many things you Muslims do are copies of Arab paganism, including Rajab, Hajj and Umrah.

Islam is paganism. Paganism is Islam.

Now, show me what Christians did to your pedophile prophet that made him lie that one allah asked him to kill Christians.

I hope you know that Rajab is a pagan tradition like many other things you do in Islam.

You guys are just copying Arab pagans up and down.

Islam is nothing other than Arab paganism. Muslims are pagans

Can you now tell me why your fake allah asked u to murder Christians? What wickedness did Christians do to your morally rotten prophet or his deceptive allah to deserve being murdered?

Good that you know that your god is wicked to the extent that your god see a little children as a wicked soul that were killed as well 😀.

Christians are pagans and the God hates pagans and he is also angry with them and that is why you saw what you quoted in the Quran verses .

So, do you pagans have the moral justification to call other people pagans?

What is the meaning of paganism ?

Islam is monotheism religion , the religion of all prophets . Muslims believe in oneness of God . Undisputed. It is you that is pagan .

Say, O Prophet, “He is Allah—One and Indivisible;

Allah—the Sustainer ˹needed by all

He has never had offspring, nor was He born.

And there is none comparable to Him.”


Quran 112-1 to 4

That is my GOD . No confusion .
