﴿إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثۡنَا عَشَرَ شَهۡرࣰا فِی كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ یَوۡمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰ⁠تِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ مِنۡهَاۤ أَرۡبَعَةٌ حُرُمࣱۚ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ ٱلدِّینُ ٱلۡقَیِّمُۚ فَلَا تَظۡلِمُوا۟ فِیهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمۡۚ﴾ [التوبة ٣٦]

The number of months with Allah is twelve, in the Record of Allah since the day He created the heavens and earth; of which four are sacred. This is the straight way, so do not wrong yourselves during these months

O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, pardon me, and grant me from the vastness of Your generous grace, and make goodness in my affairs, O Lord of the worlds.

Forgotten Sunnah - immense strength:

Narrated Ali(may Allah be pleased with him):

Fatima complained of what she suffered from the hand mill and from grinding, when she got the news that some slave girls of the booty had been brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). She went to him to ask for a maid-servant, but she could not find him, and told Aisha of her need. When the Prophet (ﷺ) came, Aisha informed him of that. The Prophet (ﷺ) came to our house when we had gone to our beds. (On seeing the Prophet peace be upon him) we were going to get up, but he (peace be upon him) said, 'Keep at your places,' I felt the coolness of the Prophet's feet on my chest. Then he (peace be upon him) said, "Shall I tell you a thing which is better than what you asked me for? When you go to your beds, say:

'Allahu Akbar (i.e. Allah is Greater)' for 34 times, and

'Al hamdu Li llah (i.e. all the praises are for Allah)' for 33 times, and

Subhan Allah (i.e. Glorified be Allah) for 33 times.

This is better for you than what you have requested."

حَدَّثَنَا بَدَلُ بْنُ الْمُحَبَّرِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَكَمُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ ـ عَلَيْهَا السَّلاَمُ ـ اشْتَكَتْ مَا تَلْقَى مِنَ الرَّحَى مِمَّا تَطْحَنُ، فَبَلَغَهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُتِيَ بِسَبْىٍ، فَأَتَتْهُ تَسْأَلُهُ خَادِمًا فَلَمْ تُوَافِقْهُ، فَذَكَرَتْ لِعَائِشَةَ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ عَائِشَةُ لَهُ، فَأَتَانَا وَقَدْ دَخَلْنَا مَضَاجِعَنَا، فَذَهَبْنَا لِنَقُومَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَى مَكَانِكُمَا ‏"‏ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَ قَدَمَيْهِ عَلَى صَدْرِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمَا عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِمَّا سَأَلْتُمَاهُ، إِذَا أَخَذْتُمَا مَضَاجِعَكُمَا فَكَبِّرَا اللَّهَ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، وَاحْمَدَا ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، وَسَبِّحَا ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمَا مِمَّا سَأَلْتُمَاهُ ‏"‌‏.‏

📚Beware, may Allah bless you, of the innovations and superstitions of the month of Rajab.

For a Muslim must worship Allah and draw closer to Him through acts of obedience based on knowledge and Sunnah, not ignorance and innovation.

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “Every hadith that mentions fasting in Rajab and praying some nights in it is a fabricated lie.” [al-Manar al-Munif - 96]

Al-Iraqi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “There is no authentic hadith about the virtue of Rajab.” [Fayd al-Qadir - 4/18].

Among the innovations of the month of Rajab:
Imam Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have on him) said:-

⚪️All the Hadiths that have been narrated about the virtue of prayer in Rajab or the virtue of fasting in Rajab are all very weak hadiths.

⚪️Some scholars have even said that they are fabricated and falsely attributed to the Prophet 🌸, so it is not permissible for anyone to rely on these Hadiths..

⚪️It is not permissible for anyone to rely on them and single out Rajab for fasting or prayer. Because that is a Bida’ah and the Prophet 🌸 said: “Every innovation is misguidance and every misguidance is in the Fire.”

⚪️I say to you, clarifying the truth, that the month of Rajab has no specific prayer, neither on the first Friday night of it nor there isthe it a specific fast on the first day of it nor on the rest of the days.

⚪️O Muslims, what is mentioned in the Book of Allah and in what is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah 🌸 of righteous deeds is sufficient for what is mentioned in weak or fabricated hadiths attributed to the Messenger of Allah 🌸. If a person worships Allah with what is proven to be from the Religion of Allah, then he has worshiped Allah with insight, hoping for the reward of Allah and fearing His punishment.

O Allah, we ask You to grant us beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds, good and abundant provision, and good offspring, O Lord of the Worlds.

وَلَن تَرْضَىٰ عَنكَ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَلَا ٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ ۗ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَ ٱلَّذِى جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّۢ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith. Say, “Allah’s guidance is the only true guidance.” And if you were to follow their desires after all the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or help you against Allah. ~ Qur'an 2: 120

Imam Malik (رحمه الله) said:

“I have been informed that Luqman said to his son:

‘O my son, the first thing you should acquire from this world, after a righteous friend, is a righteous wife.’”

[Al-Bayan wa al-Tahseel, 323/4]

ʿUmar رضي الله عنه narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:

‎"If you were to rely upon Allāh with the reliance He is due, you would be given provision like the birds: They go out hungry in the morning and come back with full bellies in the evening"

‎[Sunan Ibn Majāh 4164]
