THE MONTH OF RAJAB

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

"The year is twelve months, four of which are sacred. Three consecutive months: Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijjah and Al-Muharram, and (the fourth being) Rajab Mudar (named after the tribe of Mudar as they used to respect this month) which stands between Jumad (ath-thani) and Sha'ban."

He (Prophet Hud عليه السلام) commanded them (his people) to seek the forgiveness of the One Who is capable of expiating previous sins. He also commanded them to repent for that which they may do in the future. Whoever has these characteristics, Allah will make his sustenance easy for him, grant him ease in his affairs and gaurd over his situation.

2022-02-01 09:11:25 "..that He might try you, which of you is the best in deeds." (11:7)

Concerning this statement, it is important to note here that Allah did not say, "Which of you has done the most deeds." Rather, He said, "Best in deeds." A deed cannot be considered a good deed until it is done sincerely for Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, and it must be in accordance with the legislation of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Whenever a deed lacks one of these conditions, then it is null and void.

A man came asking the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about righteousness and sin. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"Righteousness is good behavior, and sin is what fluctuates in your chest, and you would hate that the people discovered it about you."

: Tirmidhi 2389 | Sahih

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said about righteousness and sin:

"Al-Birr (righteousness) is a good character, and sin is that which wavers in your heart and you do not want the people to find out about it."
