Rajab is the seventh month of the Islamic calendar. When the moon of Rajab was sighted Rasulullah (s.w.s.) used to read the following Duá:

“ Oh Allah! grant us blessings in the month of Rajab and Shábaan, and take us forth to the month of Ramadhaan “

This Duá should be recited regularly in the month of Rajab and Shábaan.

Whilst the arrival of Ramadaan is certain, no person is guaranteed reaching Ramadaan. Rasulullah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) would express his eagerness to be blessed with the month of Ramadaan from Rajab. We should therefore become more inclined towards virtuous deeds and Ibadat in these months.

Rajab and Shabaan are the stepping stones to Ramadaan.

Concerted effort and consistent preparations should commence with immediate effect. All acts of futility should be strictly abandoned. It has been said that Rajab is the month to sow seeds (good actions), Shábaan is the month in which we should water those seeds (with tears of remorse) and Ramadaan is the month in which we reap the harvest.

May Allah Ta’ala let us all reach Ramadaan and grant us the ability to spend it in a manner that is most pleasing to Him. Aameen.
