Du‘ā Upon the Advent of Rajab

Du‘ā Upon the Advent of Rajab

True Appreciation of Rajab

True Appreciation of Rajab

Yearning For Ramadhān

Rasūlullāh sallallāhu 'alayhi wasallam used to make du'ā in Rajab to be given the opportunity to live until Ramadhān. Having already seen Allāh ta'ālā during the night of mi'rāj, it is beyond imagination how much desire he had to leave this world and meet Allāh ta'ālā. Despite this, when he would find himself only two months away from the blessed month of Ramadhān, he would desire to be given leave in this world in order to benefit from the innumerable bounties and blessings of Ramadhān. This should help us understand the extraordinary nature of the blessings of Ramadhān and encourage us to yearn for it and benefit from it.

More Time in the Masjid

When Rajab commences we should increase the time we spend in the masjid. We should start for example by sitting for an extra five minutes after salāh. We should increase this time after ten days, and continue increasing it until we enter the blessed month of Ramadhān, when we should increase it even further. If work commitments do not allow this during weekdays, then it should be done on weekends. If we think about how much time we normally spend in the blessed environment of the masjid, we would have to admit that it is the bare minimum or just a little bit more.

Virtues of Ramadhān

As soon as the month of Rajab begins we should commence daily readings from the book "Virtues of Ramadhān" by Shaykh-ul-Hadīth, Hadhrat Mawlānā Muhammad Zakariyyā rahimahullāh. We should motivate ourselves, allocate time and sit daily with the family and read this book collectively throughout Rajab. Shaykh-ul-Hadīth Mawlānā Muhammad Zakariyyā rahimahullāh was a saintly person and his words have an amazing effect on the heart which will help us spiritually prepare for the blessed month and also benefit from it.

Start Preparing Early

The advent of the month of Rajab is a signal for us to begin preparing for the month of Ramadhān. If we start gearing up from the month of Rajab then upon the commencement of the month of Ramadhān we will have a set routine of 'ibādah that we can gradually increase as the month progresses. In this way we will be able to fully benefit from the blessed month. If we intend to increase our 'ibādah only after the month of Ramadhān has begun then by the time we get into gear, many days of Ramadhān would have passed, and we would have wasted valuable opportunities.

Building Stamina

Right from the onset of the month of Rajab, we should begin to prepare for Ramadhān. By building up slowly over Rajab and Sha'bān, we will be in peak spiritual condition when Ramadhān arrives. To do this we need to make a programme of 'ibādah and set daily targets. We then need to fix a timetable so that we are able to achieve those targets. Thereafter, targets should be reviewed every week or every fortnight, and gradually increased until Ramadhān arrives. Then throughout Ramadhān this process should continue. If we do not set targets and do not fix a timetable early on, we will not be able to progress. Consequently, we will not develop the necessary spiritual stamina required to maintain the level of performance in order to reap the maximum benefit from Ramadhān.

Reaching the Shore

Reaching the month of Rajab is akin to reaching the shore of Ramadhān. This is why the Prophet sallallāhu 'alayhi wasallam would read the following du'ā with anticipation upon the advent of Rajab: اَللّٰھُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيْ رَجَبٍ وَ شَعْبَانَ وَ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَانَ “O Allāh! Bless us in the months of Rajab and Sha'bān, and make us reach Ramadhān [by granting us life until then].” (Al-Mu'jam Al-Awsat)

The Challenge after Ramadhān

The Challenge after Ramadhān With the ending of the blessed month of Ramadhān, we will be in the month of Shawwāl. Allāh ta'ālā has granted certain times and places special barakah (blessing); and every Muslim, when in these times or places, will feel this barakah manifesting itself. This in turn will lead to him finding fulfilling all the necessary actions and refraining from sins very easy. Ramadhān, the day of Jumu'ah...

The Test of Patience

The Test of Patience by Hadhrat Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafizahullāh Every child born comes with a definite ending; death is an inevitable phenomenon for every birth, rather for every creation. Allāh ta'ālā mentions in the Qur'ān, “Everything is going to perish except His Face (His Being).” (28:88) This phenomenon makes the world a temporary abode, a transitory station, one from where each one of us...

Spending to Success

Spending to Success Rasūlullāh sallallāhu 'alayhi wasallam said: Sadaqah does not decrease wealth. (Muslim) We learn from this hadīth that no one will ever suffer financial loss due to spending in the path of Allāh ta'ālā. This principle is absolute. Financial experts and economists may not agree, but the words of Rasūlullāh sallallāhu 'alayhi wasallam can never be wrong. The intellect says that spending,...
