Fasting in the Month of Rajab & the Ahadees


 

FASTING IN THE MONTH OF RAJAB

Fasting is one of the most recommended acts during this spiritual season. It becomes Wajib during the month of Ramadan but is highly recommended during the months of Rajab and Shaban. As will be

noted from the Hadees fasting, be it for only one day during these months, is rewarded with untold bounties.

Hazrat Salman Farsi [Radiyal Laahu Anhu] narrates that the Holy

                                    Prophet ﷺ said that there is a day in the month of Rajab on which if a person fasts and does Qiyaam ul Laiel (night vigil ) on that night, he will receive rewards like a person who fasts for 100 years and does Qiyaam ul Laiel for nights of 100 years. This night is the night of the 27th (Rajab) and the day of the 27th (Rajab).

The Night of Mairaj Un Nabi.

"Rajab is (the name of) a River in paradise that is whiter than milk & sweeter than honey. Allaah Almighty will allow one to drink from this river if he fasts for even one day in this month. It is also a month of seeking forgiveness more than usual as Allaah Kareem is forgiving & merciful during this month.
