                                                        The Dhikr of Rajab


        1) Fasting

        It is highly recommended to fast in this month of Rajab even for one
        day at least. A hadith says: Whosoever fasts a day in Rajab, the fire of
        hell will be away from him a distance of one year’s journey, and whoso
        -ever fasts 3 days in Rajab, will be entitled for Paradise.

        Sayyadina Imam Ali Karam'Allahu wajahu used to fast the whole
        month of Rajab. Many of his followers do the same.


        2) Seeking Forgiveness (Istighfaar)

        The Most Beloved Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala alayhi wa Sallam used
        to say: Rajab is a month of seeking forgiveness, so seek forgiveness from
        Allah subhanahu wa Ta'ala; He is verily the Forgiver, the Merciful. It is
        highly recommended to repeat ‘Astaghfirullaah wa as-aluhut tawbah’


        3) Sadaqa and Charity

        There is a very big reward for sadaqa and charity in the month of Rajab.
        Those who cannot fast may give sadaqa to the poor every day, or recite
        ‘Subhana Ilalahil Jaleele Subhana Man la Yanbaghil Tasbeeho Illa 
        Lahoo; Subhanal A`azzinil Akrame; Subhana Man Labisal Izza wa
        Howa Lahoo Ahlun.’


        4) Repeating ‘Laa ilaaha illa-Allah’ 1000 times.


        5) Repeating ‘Astaghfirullaaha zul jalale wal Ikraam min jamee' al
             zonoobe wal aathaam‘ 1000 times.


        6) Repeating Sura Al Tawheed : 'Qul-ho-wallaho Ahad' 1000 times to
             get the reward of 1000 Angels and blessings on the reciter, his / her
             children, family and neighbours.


        7) It is recommended to recite 'Qul-ho-wallaho Ahad' 100 times every
             Friday in the month of Rajab. 


        May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala grant you more blessings
        in this month and every month to do more for the real future
