Anas b. Malik (ر) said that the Prophet ﷺ would say at the beginning of Rajab, "O God, bless us in Rajab, and Shaban and let us reach Ramadan."
[at-Tabarani, al-Bayhaqi, Abu Nu`aym]
Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha`bān is my month and Ramadān is the month of my Nation.
[Abul-Fath ibn Abi Fawaris in his Amalee]
The work of prophets and angels stops in the month of Rajab. They are not allowed to know what rewards Allah is going to give His Community. It is in His hands.
In the following month, Shaban, no one is permitted to know what rewards the Prophet ﷺ will give his Community except Allah. Rewards accumulated in Rajab and Shaban will be written for you and become known to everyone in Ramadan. That is why it is the month of the Community. Therefore, these three months are very important in the understanding of the Sufi orders.
In the month of Rajab, the Prophet ﷺ went through the Night Journey and Heavenly Ascension. During this month, one must keep oneself away from all kinds of bad manners and behavior. One of the most important days of the year is the first day of Rajab, when Allah grants duas. Formal seclusions overseen by AwliyaAllah commence at the beginning of this month.
May we receive every goodness, mercy, forgiveness, and purification from Allah swt. Fatiha.
