We're now in the month of Rejab. Then gonna be Sya'aban, then gonna be RAMADHAN.

I find the song Tasbih really nice above the other songs and so I wish to put the lyrics here...



Tasbih – the Seedlings of Paradise
Subhan Allah, wa’l hamdu lillah
Wa la ilaha illa Allah
Allahu akbar wa la hawla
Wa la quwwata illa billah

All Allah’s creation glorifies Him
Infinitely perfect, beyond understanding
And though we cannot praise Him
As much as He deserves,
We say ‘glory to Allah, subhanallah!’

All praise is for Allah, exalted be He
He is worthy of all praise anyone could ever speak
In thankfulness for all the blessings He bestows
We say, ‘praise to Allah, al-hamdu lillah!’

There is none we worship except for Allah
There is none we yearn for except for Allah
It is the best remembrance – no god but Allah
Every moment in our hearts, we remember Allah

Allah is more exalted than heaven and earth
His pleasure more important than the greatest of rewards
Allah is greater than any praise we make of Him
So in word and deed and prayer we say, ‘Allahu akbar.’

Lyrics from Nur Al-Habib Productions

A khutbah Jumaat one fine Friday in September 2000 says:
Mukmins will utilise the month of Rejab and Syaaban to prepare themselves for the heralding entrance of Ramadhan. They prepare themselves both physically and spiritually. They cleanse their hearts before welcoming the holy month of Ramadhan so that when it arrives, their hearts are all ready to embrace the light, blessings and fadhilah from Allah. These are the features of mukmins. Rasulullah always recite this prayer during the month of Rejab:

"Oh Allah! Blessed us in the month of Rejab and Syaaban, and make us reach Ramadhan."

This is the prayer or doa which we should be reciting in the hope that we will be blessed by Allah during the two months of Rejab and Syaaban, starting today. It is also in anticipation for us to meet and embrace the holy month of Ramadhan. Let us increase our ibadahs during these months and reduce our wrong doings during these times.

Don't we want to grab these golden opportunities? Just like how we anticipate our bonuses each year, just look at how Allah grants bonuses of blessings for us. Not only are they given every year, but they are also bestowed every day, every week and every month. We will lose out if we forfeit these bonuses from Allah. In Surah Mukminun, ayat 61 Allah says:

It means: "It is these who race for the good deeds, and they are foremost in them"

Baarakallah.......

Btw I came across a few sites (juz to name two: here and here) which says that the various rewards stated about fasting a certain number of days in Rejab and solat Raghaib is da'if/fake/palsu...

I try my best not to put any hadiths here of which I'm not sure of their authenticity. As for the doa, I only know it's narrated by Imam Ahmad:
“O Allah! Bless us in the months of Rejab and Syaaban, and let us meet the month of Ramadhan” (Hadith narrated by Imam Ahmad) Authenticity I'm not sure. Kena tanya Ustazah Sakinah ni hehehe


Just one last thing to add:
ITAQULLAH! Hadith:
Fear Allah, not the people, because we will get only what Allah has prescribed for us and nothing more. Stand up! Be strong and morally upright. "Say: 'I believe in Allah', and thereafter be upright." (related by Muslim)
