Assalamu alikum wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh

Welcome  Rajab    1446

Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) used to welcome this month by saying:
اللّهمّ بارك لنا في رجب و شعبان وبلّغنا رمضان

Allhumma barik lana fi Rajab wa Sha’ban wa ballighna Ramadan

“O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan.

Rajab (Arabic: رَجَب) is the seventh month of the Islamic calendar. The lexical definition of the classical Arabic verb rajaba is “to respect” which could also mean “be awe or be in fear”, of which Rajab is a derivative.

This month is regarded as one of the four sacred months (including Muharram, Dhu al-Qadah and Dhu al-Hijjah) in Islam in which battles are prohibited. The pre-Islamic Arabs also considered warfare blasphemous during the four months.

Muslims believe Rajab is the month in which ‘Alī ibn Abī Tālib  fourth Caliph of Sunni Muslims, was born.

Rajab is also the month during which Isra’ Mi’raj (journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then through the 7 Heavens to meet Allah) of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, took place.

Rajab and Shaʿbān are a prelude to the holy month of Ramaḍān.

The word “Rajab” came from “rajūb (رجوب)”, the sense of veneration or glorification, and Rajab was also formerly called “Mudhar” because the tribe of Mudhar did not change it but rather expected in its time other than the rest of the Arabs, who changed and altered in the months according to the state of war.

The name of Rajab literally means respected, regarded, and admired. Also, during Rajab, war is forbidden. There are other names for the month, such as Rajab Al-Morrajjab, Rajab Al-Asab and Rajab Sharif
