The Significance of the Sacred Month of Rajab

When does Rajab 2026 begin?

Rajab 2026 is expected to begin around the evening of Tuesday, 20 January 2026, with Wednesday, 21 January 2026 being 1 Rajab 1447 AH.

The Prophet (saw) said, ‘Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha‘ban is my month and Ramadan is the month of my Ummah’.

It is imperative that during this month we seek Allah’s (swt) mercy and forgiveness, stay away from sins, increase our good deeds, and charitable contributions.

Rajab is the month when the most significant historical events took place. It marks Prophet Muhammad’s (saw) nightly journey from Mecca to Jerusalem, and his ascension to heaven. In the first video, Ustad Shah discusses the virtues and merits of Rajab to His Ummah. This is followed by a discussion on the Messenger of Allah (saw)’s Night journey to Jerusalem. The discussion ends with the significance of the Al-Isra wal-Miraj or the Ascension.
