4.  The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) says, “Know that Rajab is a great month of Allah. It is called Asam because there is no month so dear  and excellent  for  Allah except  this. It was respected even during the time of ignorance. When Islam arrived, it too increased the greatness and excellence of this month. Know that Rajab is the month of Allah, Shaban is my month and Ramadan is the month of my Ummah. Know that if a faithful person fasts seeking reward from Allah he has gained  lots  of  pleasure  of  Allah.  The  fast  of  that  person would  end  the  anger  of  Allah  upon  him;  a  door  of  Hell would be closed for him. The reward of this fast with pure intention is better than giving an earth filled with gold as charity.  No  object  in  this  world  can  make  his  reward complete except good deeds. As soon as night falls, Allah would fulfill his ten wishes. If he prays for worldly life his prayers would be accepted. One who prays for His friends, lovers and chosen people, Allah would accept his prayers. One who observes two fasts in the month of Rajab nothing in the earth and heavens can imagine the greatness of that person. He would get the reward of a truthful person who has never lied in his whole life-time. He would appear on the Day of Judgment in the similar state. That person would do intercession of others along with other truthful people till they all enter Paradise and settle down with those truthful persons. One who fasts for three days in Rajab, Allah would erect  a barrier between him and Hell whose distance would be equal to travel of seventy years. Allah would say at the time of Iftar, ‘You have right upon Me and My love for you has become obligatory. O angels! I hold you witness that I have forgiven his sins from start till the end’. One who fasts for four days in the month of Rajab, he will remain safe from calamities  like  the  evils  of  Jinns,  leprosy,  leucoderma, mischief of Dajjal and the punishment of grave. He would get  the reward of wise persons who repent. He would be handed over the scroll of deeds in his right hand and made to stand in the first row of worshippers. One who fasts for five days in the month of Rajab it is  the duty of Allah to please  him  on  the  Day  of  Judgment.  His  face  would  be shinning like the full moon when he is resurrected on the Day  of Judgment. Rewards equal to the number of grains of sand would be written for him and he would be made to enter Paradise without any accounting. He would be given choice to ask whatever he wants from Allah. One who fasts for  six  days  in  the  month  of  Rajab,  his  face  would  be brighter  than  sun  when  he  is  resurrected  on  the  Day  of Judgment. Apart from  this, he  would be  given extra  light, which  would  light  up  all  those  gathered  on  that  day.  He would be gathered along with protected people and would pass through the Sirat Bridge without any accounting. His sins  as  great  as  disobeying  parents  and  breaking  relations will be forgiven. One who fasts for seven days in the month of Rajab, Allah would close all seven doors of Hell for him and prohibit the fire of Hell for his body. One who fasts for eight days in the month of Rajab, Allah would open all eight doors of Paradise for him one by one and he would be given choice  to  enter  Paradise  from  whichever  door  he  wishes. One who fasts for nine days in Rajab would come out of his grave saying Laa ilaaha illallaah and would not see anything except  Paradise.  The  light  of  his  face  would  brighten  the people gathered on that day and people would think of him as a prophet. The minimum reward given to him at that time is entrance to Paradise without any accounts. One who fasts for  ten days in Rajab would be  given two emerald wings decorated by illuminating pearls and rubies. He would enter Paradise flying over the Sirat Bridge with the help of these wings. He would be counted among the just and dear ones of Allah. He is like one who prayed for a hundred years with the pure intention of seeking reward from Allah. One who fasts for eleven days in Rajab, there would be no one greater in front of Allah than him except one who has fasted more than him. One who fasts for twelve days in Rajab would be made  to  wear  two  dresses  of  brocade  and  silk.  If  one  of those dresses is brought to this world it would illuminate the world from east to west and scent the world with fragrance better than musk. One who observes thirteen fasts in Rajab, a  table  would  be  spread  under  the  shade  of  the  Divine throne and a number of eatables would be laid on it for him. The span of this table would be seventy times the area of this earth. Trays made of brocade and rubies will be laid on it. Every tray would have seventy thousand types of eatables each having distinct aroma and color. That person would have food from this table while others would be involved in a great difficulty. One who fasts for fourteen days in Rajab, Allah  would  grant  him  huge  palaces  made  of  pearls  and rubies  of  such  kind  that  eyes  have  neither  seen  nor  ears heard about nor can a human mind imagine them. One who fasts for fifteen days in Rajab would stand at the place of faithful people. Every angel, messenger and apostle passing by him would say, ‘Congratulations, for you are in peace, near to Allah, honest, fortunate and happy and would rest in gardens’. One who fasts for sixteen days in Rajab would be among those who are first to ride upon the vehicles of bright light. He would fly from Paradise to the door of Mercy in these vehicles. One who observes seventeen fasts in Rajab, seventy thousand lamps would be illuminated for him at the Sirat Bridge so that he enters Paradise passing the bridge in the light of these lamps. Angels would welcome him saying, ‘Well done’ and ‘Peace be  upon you’. One who fasts  for eighteen  days  in  Rajab  would  be  given  a  place  on  the thrones made of pearls and rubies in the Minaret of Ibrahim in Paradise. One who fasts for nineteen days in the month of Rajab, Almighty Allah would construct a palace of pearls for him facing the palaces of Adam  and Ibrahim . He would  salute  them  and  they  too  would  salute  him  and respect  his  position.  He  would  be  given  the  reward  of  a thousand  fasts  for  each  fast.  One  who  observes  fast  for twenty days in Rajab it is as if he has worshipped Allah for a thousand years. One who fasts for twenty-one days in Rajab, on  the  Day  of  Judgment  he  would  get  to  intercede  for people  numbering  the  sinners  of  Rabi  and  Mudhir  tribes. One who fasts for twenty-two days in Rajab a caller would give call from heaven, ‘O friend of Allah! There are glad- tidings for you. There is great honor for you in Allah’s eyes. You are  friend of prophets, truthful ones, martyrs  and the virtuous upon whom Allah has revealed His bounties and mercy.  They  are  your  best  friends’.  One  who  fasts  for twenty-three  days  in  Rajab  a  call  would  be  given  from heaven,  ‘O  slave  of  Allah!  You  are  fortunate.  You  have taken less pain and you are getting much more benefit. The veil is taken off from you. You are rewarded greatly by your Lord. You will be a neighbor of Khaleel (Prophet Ibrahim) in Darus Salaam. One who observes fast for twenty-four days in Rajab the Angel of death would come to him in the form of  a  handsome  youth  wearing  a  green  brocade  dress mounted on a green horse of Paradise. He would be holding a golden cup decorated with a green silk more fragrant than musk filled with the pure wine of Paradise. He would make that person drink that wine while taking his soul away. The difficulties at death-bed would be eased for him and his soul would  be  wrapped  in  green  silk.  Such  a  sweet  fragrance would  come  out  if  it  that  all  the  inhabitants  of  seven heavens  would  be  scented  with  it.  He  would  remain satisfied  in  his  grave  as  well  as  when  he  would  be resurrected until he reaches the cistern of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.). One who fasts for twenty-five days in Rajab would be surrounded by seventy thousand angels, each holding an umbrella made of pearls and rubies when he is resurrected from the grave. They would have ornaments and excellent dresses. They would say, ‘O dear one of Allah! Let us go to Him soon’. Then he would go to Paradise first along with the dear ones of Allah. Indeed it is a great success. One who fasts for twenty-six days in Rajab the Almighty Allah would build  a  hundred  palaces  of  pearls  and  rubies  under  the shade of His throne. There would be a tent made of red silk of Paradise in front of each palace. While people would be busy  in  accounting  of  their  deeds,  this  person would  rest over  here  peacefully.  One  who  observes  fast  for  twenty- seven  days  in  Rajab,  the  Almighty  Allah  will  expand  his grave to the distance covered in four hundred years and the whole  area  would  be  fragranced  with  Amber  and  Musk. One who fasts for twenty-eight days in Rajab Allah would create a distance of nine barriers between him and the fire of Hell. The width of each barrier is equal to the distance covered  in  five  hundred  years  between  the  earth  and heaven.  For  a  person  who  fasts  for  twenty-nine  days  in Rajab  Allah  would  forgive  him  even  if  he  would  have robbed every man on the order of an unjust or even if she is a woman who has been unchaste seventy times. One who fasts for thirty days in the month of Rajab a caller would call out,  ‘O  slave  of  Allah!  Your  past  sins  are  forgiven.  Your deeds can have a new beginning’. Allah would grant him all the  gardens  and  every  garden  would  have  forty  thousand cities. Every city would have forty palaces and every palace would  have  forty  thousand  houses  and  every  house  will have  forty  thousand  dining  tables  and  every  dining  table would  have  forty  thousand  dishes  and  every  dish  would have forty thousand types of cuisines each having a distinct color  and  aroma.  Every  house  will  have  forty  thousand golden  thrones  and  the  span  of  those  thrones  would  be equal to two thousand hands. A virgin Hoorul Ein would be seated  on  each  throne  having  three  hundred  thousand dazzling hair on their heads and each lock of hair would be held  by  one  thousand  slave-girls  who  will  be  scenting  it with musk and amber so that the person who fasted during Rajab comes near her. All this is for the person who fasted for  the  whole  month  of  Rajab.”  Someone  asked,  “O Messenger of Allah! What should a person do who is not able     to observe fast for the whole month due to weakness, menstruation  or  some  other  reason?”  The  Holy  Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “They should give food to poor as charity. I swear by Him in Whose control is my life that they would get much more than what I have said if they give charity daily. All the creatures of this earth and the heavens cannot even estimate  one-tenth of the  reward, which that person would get in Paradise.” Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah!  What  should  a  person  do  who  is  not  able  to  pay charity also?” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “He should recite the following Tasbeeh of Allah a hundred times daily for  thirty  days  in the  month of Rajab:  ‘Sub-h’aanal  ilaahil jaleeli  sub-h’aana  mallaa  yambaghit  tasbeeh’u  illaa  lahu sub-h’aanal   a-a’zzil   akrami   sub-h’aana   mallabisal   i’zza wahuwa lahu ahl’.
