The Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) has said: "Rajab is a great month of Allah; war with the infidels during this month is prohibited; Verily,Rajab is Allah's month, Sha'ban my month and Ramadan the month of my Ummah; whosoever fasts a day in the month of Rajab will be granted the great reward of Ridwan (an angel in heaven will find him); the wrath of Allah (SWT) shall be distanced and a door of the Hell shall be closed."

Hazrat Salman Al-Farsi narrates that, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said that there is a day in the month of Rajab on which if a person fasts and does Qiyaamul Lail (night vigil) on that night, he will receive rewards like a person who fasts for 100 years and does Qiyaamul Lail for nights of 100 years. This night is the night of the 27th (Rajab) and the day of the 27th (Rajab). This is the day on which the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) was appointed to Messenger hood.

Hazrat Salman Al-Farsi narrates that Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said "O Salman, there is no Mumin and Muminah who performs

30 Raka'ah in the month of Rajab

each Raka'ah recites Surah Al-Fatihah once,

Surah Al-Ikhlas 3 times,

and Surah Al-Kafiroon 3 times

Allah (SWT) does forgive them their sins and bestows rewards upon them as upon a person who has fasted a whole month.

He becomes among those who will be steadfast in their Salaat in the year which is to come.

For him the deeds of the day are equal to that of the martyr.

He will be raised with the Martyrs of the Holy Battle of Badr.

For fast of each day is equal to one year's ibadah.His designation is raised 1000 times higher to other human being.

Hazrat Jibril (Gabriel) informed Hazrat Muhammad(SA)"O Muhammad(SA) this is the sign between you and the Mushrikeen (Polytheists) and the Munafiqun (Hypocrites) because the Munafiq does not perform these Salaat.
