Allahumma barik lana fi Rajab, wa barik lana fi Sha'ban wa ballighna
Ramadan."

"O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Sha'ban blessed for us, and let
us reach the month of Ramadan (i.e. prolong our life up to Ramadan, so
that we may benefit from its merits and blessings)."

Rajab

Rajab is the 7th Month in the Islamic Lunar calendar. This month was
regarded as one of the sacred months in which battles were prohibited in
the days of the Holy Prophet (SAW). It is also deemed as a prelude to
the month of Ramadhan, because Ramadhan follows it after the intervening
month of Shabaan. Therefore, when the Holy Prophet sighted the moon of
Rajab, he used to pray to Alah in the following words :

O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Shabaan blessed for us, and let us
reach the month of Ramadhan (i.e. prolong our life upto Ramadhan, so
that we may benefit from its merits and blessings).

Although the month of Rajab has these merits, yet no specific way of
worship has been prescribed by the Shariah in this month. There are no
special days of fasting or Ibadah in this month or any night of this
month. One can keep nafl fasts , like in other months (i.e monday &
thursday, etc). Shariah has not prescribed any specific way to observe
the month of Rajab or to perform a specific mode of worship or a ritual
on any one of its dates.

27th night of Rajab - Lailatul Miraj - this was when the Holy Prophet
(SAW) ascended to the heavens to meet Allah.

Extracted from the book : Islamic Months (by Mufti Muhammad Taqi
Usmani).

Allahumma barik lana fi Rajab, wa barik lana fi Sha'ban wa ballighna
Ramadan."
"O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Sha'ban blessed for us, and let
us reach the month of Ramadan (i.e. prolong our life up to Ramadan, so
that we may benefit from its merits and blessings)."

The Month of The Qur'an is soon Approaching.

We appeal to all Muslim to make a special effort to Complete the reading
of the Qur'an in Arabic and any of translation of it's meaning, at
least once this Ramadan (Unless you fluently understand Arabic)

7 Reasons to Read the Glorious Quran

(1) Intimate:

It dares you to disprove it. How? It says that humans can not write a
book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and got
help also from the spirits. The Quran said this fourteen hundreds years
ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. Billions of books have
been written - but not another one like the Quran.

(2) Incorruptible:

It is the only religious sacred writing which has been in circulation
for such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning.
The Quran was kept intact. Nothing was added to it; nothing was changed
in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever since it was completely
revealed 1400 years ago.

(3) Unsurpassable:

The Quran is God's final revelation to humankind. God revealed the Torah
to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus, and finally the
Quran to Muhammad. Peace be upon all of them. No other book will come
from God to surpass his final revelation.

(4) Indisputable:

The Quran withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can dispute
the truth of this book. It speaks about past history and turns out
right. It speaks about the future in prophecies and it turns out right.
It mentions details of physical phenomena which were not known to people
at the time; yet later scientific discoveries confirm that the Quran was
right all along. Every other book needs to be revised to accord with
modern knowledge. The Quran alone is never contradicted by a modern
discovery.

(5) Your Roadmap for Life and Afterlife:

The Quran is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other
book presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human
life and endeavor. The Quran also points out the way to secure
everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your roadmap showing how
to get to paradise.

(6) God's Gift of Guidance:

God has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells you
why he made you, what he demands from you, and what he has in store for
you. If you operate a machine contrary to it's manufacture specification
you will ruin that machine. What about you? Do you have an owner's
manual for you? The Quran is from your function for success lest you
fail to function. It is a healing mercy from God. It satisfies the soul,
and cleans the heart. It removes doubts and brings peace.

(7) Your Calling Card to Communicate with God:

Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other
intelligent life. The Quran tells us how to communicate with the source
of all intelligence and the source of all life- the One God. The Quran
tells us who God is, by what name we should address God, and the way in
which to communicate with God. Are these not seven sufficient reasons
for reading the Quran?

Are you one of those people who rarely touches the Qur'an? Or do you
read daily, but don't find it is having the impact on you that it
should? Whatever the case may be, these are some simple tips that can
help you connect with the Qur'an.

1. Before you touch it, check your heart. The key to really benefiting
from the Qur'an is to check your heart first, before you even touch

just get some information
