The month of Rajab is the seventh month of Arabic or Lunar calendar. It is one of four sacred months of Islam. Allah said about this in the Holy Qur’an: Surely, the number of months according to Allah is twelve. He has created the heavens and the Earth, of which there are four sacred months. That is the right faith. [Al-Quran 9:36]
In the next sentence of this verse, Allah said: [So, do not wrong yourselves therein] means: ‘Do not become unjust to your own selves either by acting against the compliance-worthy injunctions pertaining to these months, or by not observing proper respect to them, or by falling short in devoting yourselves to ‘Ibadah’ (worship) therein.Imam Abu Bakr al-Jassas has said in his ‘‘Ahkam al-Quran’’
:The hint given here is that these blessed months have an exclusive characteristic of their own. Whoever devotes to ‘Ibadah’ (worship) during these is awarded with the ability and encouragement to engage in it during the rest of the months. Similarly, a person who makes necessary efforts to stay safe from sins and other bad deeds during these months finds that remaining safe from evil deeds during the rest of the year has become easier to him. Therefore, not making the best out of these months is a terrible loss.
No authentic proof available for the virtue of the night of Meraj
On the 27th of this month (Rajab) every year, the Muslims observe Shab-e-Meraj, the night when Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (pbuh) embarked on a special journey to meet Allah.
