I sincerely congratulate Tula Muslims on the advent of this blessed month!
May Allah Almighty accept all your good deeds, prayers and fasts! May your iman become stronger and your morals become good!
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you!
Imam of Tula and Tula region Asuev Musa
The month of Rajab is the first of three holy months (Rajab, Sha'ban and Ramadan), which are the greatest mercy of Allah Almighty to His servants.
One of the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) says:
“If you want peace before death, a happy ending (death with Iman) and salvation from Satan, respect these months by fasting and regretting your sins.”
Retribution (reward for good and punishment for sins) increases many times over in the month of Rajab.
Rajab is called the month of the Almighty for the enormous rewards and bounties bestowed in this month.
The word "Rajab" contains three letters (there are no vowels in the Arabic alphabet): "r" meaning "rahmat" (the Mercy of Allah), "j" - "jurmul-'abdi" (sins of the servants of Allah), "b" - " birru allahi ta'ala" (the good of Allah Almighty).
And Allah says:
“O My servants, I have caused your sins to be contained between My Grace and My Good.”
It is advisable to fast in the month of Rajab. Whoever cannot fast the whole month, let him fast at least on the first, fifteenth and last days this month.
The hadith says:
“Remember, Rajab is the month of the Almighty; whoever fasts for at least one day in Rajab, the Almighty will be pleased with him.”
Another hadith says:
“Whoever revives the first night of Rajab, his heart will not die when his body dies; Allah Almighty pours Good into him through his head, and he will come out of his sins as if his mother had just given birth to him. And he will have the right to intercede (shafa’at) for 70 thousand sinners who were supposed to go to Hell.”
On the first Thursday of the month of Rajab, it is also advisable to fast, and the night after this Thursday, that is, the first Friday night of the month of Rajab, is advisable to spend in ibadah and all-night vigil. This night is called Laylat-ul-Ragaib.
On the night of the 1st Friday of the month of Rajab, the marriage of the parents of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took place.
In 2016, the night of Lailat-ul-Ragaib falls on the night of April 7-8, i.e. on the 1st of the month of Rajab.
IN night Ragaib It is advisable to perform prayer to fulfill your need. It is performed between evening and night prayers.
This prayer consists of 12 rak'ats, they are performed in 2 rak'ats, that is, six prayers of two rak'ats.
In each prayer in the first rak'ah after Surah al-Fatiha, read Surah al-Qadr (97th Surah) three times and Surah al-Ikhlas (112th Surah) twelve times.
After performing 12 rak'ats, read 70 times next prayer:
“Allahumma salli ‘ala sayyidina Muhammadinin-nabiyil ummiyi wa ‘ala alihi.”
Then they perform judgment (bow to the ground) and read the following prayer in the position of judgment 70 times:
“Subbuhun quddus rabbul malaikati warrukh.”
Then, raising your head from the position of judgment, sitting on your knees, read 70 times:
“Rabbigfir varham wa tazhawaz ‘amma ta’lam. Innaka antal a'azzul akram."
Next, they perform judgment again and read the same prayer 70 times as in the first judgment. Then, having risen after the second judgment, they read a dua (prayer), in which they ask Allah Almighty to fulfill one or another of their needs.
May the Almighty accept your prayers and fulfill your needs, and may this month be a barakah for you.
O people, fear Allah Almighty and give thanks to Him for His mercy towards us. He gave us periods of grace and many other benefits. Appreciate your days of grace properly, fill them with submission to the Almighty and drawing closer to Him, move away from sins and fill your life with meaning and perfection. After all, Allah created these periods in order to forgive our sins, multiply our good deeds and strengthen our path.
We, by the grace of Allah (praise and greatness be to Him), are celebrating the blessed month of Allah - Rajab, which is great opportunity do better and good deeds.
Allah Almighty has granted His believing slaves especially blessed days and nights, such as: Ragaib, Mi'raj, Baraat Qadr, which fall on three holy months - Rajab, Sha'aban and Ramadan.
Praise be to Allah, who has granted us the happiness of living until this time of spiritual gifts, where everyone can, with their sincerity and worship, acquire the blessings of eternity from Allah. After all, we are ordered to spend these blessed days and nights in a proper manner. God's servants way.
As these three holy months approached, the Honorable Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed to the Creator as follows: "Allahumma barik lana fi rajabi wa-sha'abani wa-balligna Ramadan" — “O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Shaban blessed for us and let us live until Ramadan.”(Ahmad, Bayhaki, “Kashf al-Hawa”. Vol. 1: 186, No. 554), and in one of his hadiths he said: “There are five nights on which prayer will never be rejected:
1. The night of the first Friday of the month of Rajab (Night of Ragaib);
2. Fifteenth night of the month Sha'aban (Night of Baraat);
3. (Every) Friday night;
4. Pre-holiday night of Ramadan;
5. Pre-holiday night of Kurban holiday"(Ibn Asakir, “Mukhtar al Ahadith”: 73).
By lunar calendar The month of Rajab is the seventh month of the year and one of the four sacred months called 'ashhur-ul-khurum. This month there are two blessed nights - Raga 'ib and Mi 'raj.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is reported to have said: “Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha’ban is my month, Ramadan is the month of my ummah.” The word Rajab comes from the word tarjib and means "respect", "honor" and "worship". Allah Almighty forgives sins and grants high degrees to those who, out of respect for this month, fast and worship Him. One of the hadiths reports that Rajab is the name of one of the heavenly springs, the water of which is “whiter than milk and sweeter than honey” and that on the day of the Last Judgment those who fasted during this month will be awarded its water.
Since the fasts and services performed in the month of Rajab are especially pure and pleasing to God, there is another name for this month - al-Shahrul-mutahhar, which means “the month of purification.” Therefore, the month of Rajab is a month of repentance and worship. The month of Sha'aban is the month of love and faithful service to Allah. The month of Ramadan is a month of intimacy and prosperity.
Zu-n-nun al-Misriy (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “The month of Rajab is the month of sowing seeds, IIIa'aban is the month of watering them, and the month of Ramadan is the month of harvesting piety and serving Allah. Everyone will reap what he sows. And the one who did not sow anything will greatly regret it in the month of harvest...”
One of the sacred hadiths says: “Rajab is the month of Allah. Whoever shows respect to this month, Allah will also show respect to him in this world and the next.”
One of the Islamic scholars said: “The chronology is like a tree. If the month of Rajab is the leaves of the tree, then Sha'aban is its fruits, and the month of Ramadan is the harvest. The month of Rajab is the month of Allah’s forgiveness, Sha’aban is the month of Allah’s guardianship and intercession, and Ramadan is the month of the boundless blessings of the Almighty.”
Therefore, there is hope that those believers who answer this call on the night of ar-Ragaib will find their salvation. This is why mature believers should give great importance this night, fasting during the day and spending the night in worship.
On this night, the Honorable Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), who saw many miracles and signs of his Lord, performed twelve rak’ats of prayer as a form of gratitude and appreciation to Allah (S. Atesh. Islamic Encyclopedia: 216; O. Nasuhi Bilmen. Islamic Encyclopedia: 205; A. Fikri Yavuz. Islamic Encyclopedia: 529).
Allah Almighty, whose forgiveness and mercy are limitless, sent us a guide and savior, the Prophet of mercy - Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He is in constant worry about us. Our sins sadden and hurt his heart. Therefore, a true Muslim cannot do anything that could contradict the call of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
Allah Almighty says:
“A Messenger from among you has come to you. It is hard for him that you are suffering. He longs to [instruct] you [on true path], and he is compassionate and merciful towards the believers” (At-Tawba, 9/128).
Therefore, dear Muslim brothers, the three holy months and blessed nights must be used to get closer to Allah Almighty. Let us do more repentance and du’a during these months, trying to repay our material and spiritual debts for the sake of the Lord’s pleasure. Let's read more often Holy Quran, say salawat to the Honorable Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Let us line up in rows in mosques and make du'a for our common salvation. Let us visit our elderly and sick, thus receiving their good prayers. Let's make du'a for the dead and read the Quran to them. Let us give time and attention to the underprivileged, the needy, the needy, the lonely, the orphans and the widows. Let's tell our children about the virtues of these blessed days and nights.
I would like to recall the hadith of the Honorable Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which is reported by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): “Allah Almighty says: “I am close to My servant as much as he can imagine. And when he remembers me, I find myself next to him. If he remembers Me in someone's company, I remember him in a better company than this. If a slave takes a step towards me, I take two steps towards him. And if a slave goes to Me on foot, I will run to meet him" (Al-Bukhari, Muslim (may Allah have mercy on them), Al-Lu'-Lu'uwal Marjan. Kitab At-Tauba. No. 1746).
Namaz performed in the month of Rajab
A prayer asking for the fulfillment of desires is a Hajat prayer (it expresses a request for the fulfillment of desires), which can be read at any time when a need arises. It consists of 10 rak'ats, i.e. after the niyat (intention of prayer), another 10 rak’ats are read. It can be read on the 1st and 10th, 11th and 20th, 21st and 30th days of the month of Rajab. This prayer can also be read after the evening (maghrib) and night (‘isha) prayers. It is even more preferable to read this prayer on Friday and Sunday nights during Tahajjud prayer. This prayer, read 30 times during the month of Ramadan, distinguishes a Muslim from an atheist. The atheists will not be able to do it. For this prayer, one must express the following intention (niyat): “O my Allah! For the sake of our spiritual leader (i.e. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who filled the world with light with his appearance, in the name of the month of Rajab, valued (declared sacred) by You, bestow upon me Your Divine mercy and grace. Write me down in the ranks Thy pious and pious servants. Save from the torment of passing and eternal life. For Your sake I said this niyat. Allahu Akbar!
Moreover, in each rak’at of this prayer, in which 2 rak’ats are read (10 rak’ats in total), Surah al-Fatiha is read 1 time, Surah al-Kafirun 3 times and Surah al-Ikhlas 3 times.
Night of the fulfillment of desires (Lailat ar-Ragaib)
It is assumed that Lailat ar-Ragaib is the night of the first Friday of the month of Rajab, connecting Thursday with Friday. This night is also revered among Muslims along with other blessed nights.
On this night, Muslims ask for the fulfillment of their desires. They greet this night with prayers in the hope of the mercy and blessings of Allah. Therefore, it is revered as the night of the Translation of Desires: Ragaib from the word ragib - “dream”, “desire”.
In the hadiths it came to us that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) read a prayer of 12 rak’ats that night. However, there is no confirmation of the truth of this information. Islamic scholars also wrote about this, for example, the authors of the books Bahr ar-ra iq and Raddu-l-Mukhtar.
Among Muslims, the recitation of namaz of 12 rak'ats on the night of Ragaib was first introduced at the beginning of the 12th century. This prayer is considered nafl. If you do it sincerely for the sake of Allah, then the person will receive the appropriate reward, however, if you do not read it, there will be no sin. This prayer is read between the evening (maghrib) and night (‘isha) prayers. Every 2 rak'atas end with a greeting (as-salamu 'alaikum wa-rahmatullah). In the first rak'ah, Surah al-Fatihah is read 1 time and Surah al-Qadr 3 times.
Du'as offered in the month of Rajab
Since Rajab is the month of Allah, Surah al-Ikhlas (Purification), which describes the main attributes of the Almighty, should be read more often during this month. It is especially pious to recite the following dhikrs 3 thousand times in this month:
- During the first 10 days: "Subhana-llahi-l-hayyi-l-qayyum";
- Next 10 days: "Subhana-llahi-l-ahadi-s-samad";
- Last 10 days: "Subhana-llahi-l-gafuuri-r-rahiim".
These tasbihs should be recited at least 100 times daily. In the month of Rajab, it is very useful to offer a prayer of repentance:
“Astagfiru-llaha-l-azima-lazi laa ilaaha illa hua-l-hayyal-kayyuma wa-atubu ilayh. Tavbata abdin zaalimin li-nafsikh, laa yamliku li-nafsihi mavtan wa-laa hayatan wa-laa nushuura"
Meaning: I pray to forgive my sins of Allah, the All-Great, Living and Eternal, besides Whom there is no Divinity, with the repentance of a slave who has sinned against himself, unable to either kill, revive or resurrect himself.
“O Allah, grant us the barakah of Rajab and Shaaban and let us live until Ramadan.”
Rajab
When the new moon of the month of Rajab appeared, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told Muslims about the need to prepare for the arrival of Ramadan. These two months are given to us precisely for this (to prepare for Ramadan). People usually “live to see” various achievements in their lives, but a believer, on the contrary, lives to achieve such holy months as these.
Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite the following dua when the month of Rajab began:
اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَناَ فِيْ رَجَبٍ وَشَعْبانَ وَبَلّغْنَا رَمَضَانْ
“Allahumma barik lan fi Rajaba wa Shaabana wa baligna Ramadan”
“O Allah, grant us the barakat (blessings) of Rajab and Sha’ban and let us live until Ramadan” (Shuabul-Iman, 3534, Ibnu Sunni, 660, Mukhtasar Zawaid Bazzar, 662, also see Al-Adhkar, 549. Hafiz Ibn Rajab said that this message shows the virtues of reading this dua (Istikhbab, Lataif, p. 172).
Rajab is the second of the four sacred (forbidden) months (ashkhurul-khurum) in the Islamic calendar (months when it was forbidden to start wars) (see Sura Tawba, 36). The remaining three months are Dhul-Qada, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram.
Explaining the significance of these months, scientists note that good deeds done during these months are considered more virtuous, and evil ones are considered more disgusting before Allah (Lataiful-Maarif, p. 163).
A pious man once fell ill before the onset of Rajab. He made a dua to Allah to allow him to live at least until the onset of Rajab, since he heard that Allah frees people from punishment in the month of Rajab. And Allah Almighty accepted his dua (Lataiful-Maarif, p. 173).
Shaaban
Regarding the month of Sha'ban, there are authentic hadiths that describe the special importance of the 15th night of this month. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reportedly said:
“Verily, Allah Almighty forgives on this night everyone who asks for forgiveness, except those who attribute companions to Him, and those who harbor enmity towards others (believers)” (Sahih Ibn Hibban, 5665, At-Targhib, vol. 3 , p. 459, Majamau z-zawaid, vol. 8, p. 65, Lataiful-Maarif, p. 194).
Imam Ata ibn Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him), one of the prominent Tabi'een, said:
“After Laylatul-Qadr, there is no more valuable night than the night of mid-Shaban”(Ibid., p. 197).
Imam Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“I heard that dua is especially accepted by Allah on the following five nights: Friday night; nights of two holidays (Eid); the first night of Rajab and the night of the middle of Sha'ban"(Lataiful Maarif, p.196).
The experience of people who lived before Islam shows that Allah Almighty accepts dua during the month of Rajab. Imam Ibn Abi Dunya gave several examples of this in his book Mujabu Daawa (Ibid.).
There aren't any specific forms worship prescribed in the month of Rajab or on the 15th night of Sha'ban. One can engage in any type of ibadat (worship) as one wishes.
The new month of Rajab signifies the beginning of a new season, the beginning of a time of hope, mercy and forgiveness for believers. This “season” ends three months later, on the day of Eid al-Fitr.
Sheikh Abu Bakr Balkhi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
“Rajab is the month in which we plant seeds of good, that is, we increase our ibadah. We water them on Sha'ban so that we can reap the benefits in Ramadan."(Lataif, p. 173).
The month of Rajab begins spiritual period in the life of every believer, which lasts three holy months - Rajab, Sha'ban and Ramadan. In these three months, which have no equal, the Almighty gives us the opportunity to cleanse ourselves of all the sins of the past year and earn His mercy and forgiveness.
The Messenger of Allah (S) said: "Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha'ban is my month, and Ramadan is the month of my Ummah (i.e. Shiites)."
Fasting is recommended during the months of Rajab and Sha'ban, and even one day of fasting during these months has untold rewards. Salman Farsi narrates from the Messenger of Allah (S) that in the month of Rajab there is a day and a night, which are such that if a believer fasts on this day and stays awake on that night, he will receive the reward of one who fasts for 100 years and stays awake at night for 100 years . This day and night falls on the 27th of Rajab.
The first Thursday of this month is .
The 13th, 14th and 15th of this month are “ayamu bayz” (“days of radiance”), which have a special program and “amal umm dawood” (“deeds of umm dawood”) for the fulfillment of any desire.
Desirable actions for this month:
1. Fast, at least one day of the month. Fasting on the 27th of Rajab is especially recommended. Imam Sadiq (A) also said: “ Whoever fasts on the last day of this month will become safe for him from the agony of death.» (“Vasailu shia”, volume 10, p.475).
2. After each obligatory prayer This month it is advisable to read the following dua:
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Bismi llahi rrahmani rrahiim
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful!
Alahumma salli Alya muhammadin wa aali muhammad

It is reported that Imam Sadiq (A) read this dua to one of his companions in response to a request to teach him such a dua in the month of Rajab, so that Allah would answer and help him.
3. Every day It is advisable to read in the month of Rajab.
4. During the month of Rajab, it is advisable to read the Salman Farsi prayer, which was taught to him by the Messenger of Allah (S).
The Messenger of Allah (S) said to Salman Farsi: “O Salman, there is not a single believer or believer who recites 30 rak'ahs in the month of Rajab, unless Allah forgives him all his sins and gives him the reward of one who fasts the entire month. His death will be like the death of a martyr. He will be resurrected along with the martyrs of Badr. His position will rise a thousand steps."
Gabriel said: “O Muhammad! This prayer is a sign of distinction between your followers and the hypocrites, because the hypocrites do not recite this prayer.”
Salman's prayer consists of 30 rak'ahs, of which 10 rak'ahs are read on the first day of Rajab, 10 rak'ahs on the fifteenth and another 10 on the last day of the month.
All rak'ahs are read in prayers of two rak'ahs each. In the first 10 rakyats in each rakyat, we read Surah “Fatihah” once, then Surah “Ikhlyas” three times and then Surah “Unbelievers” three times. Between every two rak'ahs (that is, two rak'ahs between each prayer), we raise our hands and say:
Then we say:
On the fifteenth of Rajab we read 10 rak'ahs in the same way as described above, but between every two rak'ahs we say:
Then we say:
On the last day of Rajab we read 10 rak'ahs in the same way as described above, but between every two rak'ahs we say:
Then we say:
5. Ask a lot for forgiveness from Allah. To do this, it is recommended to say this phrase 1000 times every day:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّهَ ذَاَ الْجَلالِ وَالإكْرَامِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الذُّنُوبِ وَالآثَامِ
Astagfiru Allah zal jalaali wal iqraam min jamiAi zzunubi wal aasaam
“I ask forgiveness from Allah, the Possessor of greatness and glory, for all sins and mistakes.”
It is also advisable to repeat as much as you can:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّه وَأَسْأَلُهُ التَّوْبَةَ
Astaghfiru Allah wa as-aluhu tawba
“I ask Allah for forgiveness and ask Him to turn to me.”
6. Give sadaqah this month.
7. On the night of the seventh of Rajab, it is recommended to perform a special prayer. The Messenger of Allah (S) said: “Whoever recites this prayer, Allah will place him under the shadow of His Throne, ease the pain of death for him and relieve him from the constriction of the grave. He will die only after seeing his place in Paradise and will be spared the horrors of the Day of Judgment.”
This prayer consists of two prayers of two rak'ahs each. In each rakyat after “Fatiha” we read Surah “Ikhlyas” three times, then “Dawn” once and “People” once.
After completing the prayer, we read salawat 10 times and tasbihat arbā 10 times ( subhana llahi wal hamdu lillahi wa la ilaha illya llahu wa llahu akbar- “Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is great”).
8. The 13th, 14th and 15th of Rajab, Sha'ban and Ramadan are called "ayamu bayz" ("days of radiance"). Imam Sadiq (A) said: “He who prays at night on the days of radiance stands before the gates of great mercy and goodness.”
As for the prayers on the nights of the 13th, 14th and 15th of Rajab, they must be performed as follows:
— On the night of the 13th of Rajab, we read prayer in two rak’ahs: in each rak’at after “Fatiha,” the surah “Ya.Sin” is read, then “Power” and “Ikhlyas.”
— On the night of the 14th of Rajab, we perform two prayers of two rak’ahs each. In each of the rakyats we read the same surahs.
— On the night of the 15th of Rajab, we perform three prayers of two rak’ahs each, in each of which we read the same surahs.
On the night of the 15th Rajab, it is also advisable to read (A) for the 1st Rajab, 15th Rajab and 15th Sha'ban.
On the day of the 15th Rajab, it is advisable to perform Ghusl and recite 10 rak'ahs of the Salman Farsi prayer, as mentioned above.
