Forty Hadiths on Rajab and Sha’bān

There are numerous Hadīths on the merits of the months of Rajab, Sha‘bān and Ramadān. A famous Hadīth
often heard is from the Holy Prophet  who says: Indeed Rajab is the month of Allah, Sha‘bān is my month, and
Ramadān is the month of my Ummah.

While the community is cognizant about the significance and the excellence of Holy Ramadān, there is an
apparent dearth of literature on the great significance and distinction of the months of Rajab and Sha‘bān in
English. A number of manuals have been published on the a‘māl (observances and acts of worship) to be
performed in these two months. We humbly feel, that there is a dire need of a booklet on the significance of
Rajab and Sha‘bān and the specific actions recommended in them.
