It is the seventh month in the Islamic (lunar) calendar and one of the ‘Arba’atul Hurum (one of the four sacred months). It is also a prelude to the month of Ramadhaan, because Ramadhaan follows it after the intervening month of Sha’baan. The lexical definition of “Rajaba” is “to respect” or “revere”.
May Allah make the months of Rajab and Sha’baan blessed for us and let us gain benefit from Shahr-ul Qur-aan, Ramadhaan.
