Why Is Rajab A Holy Month?
Posted by Ahmad Shoaib on May 18, 2021 at 6:34 pmIt makes sense for dhul qadah to muharram to be holy because of hajj travels but why rajab?

Contributor May 18, 2021 at 11:21 pmThese do not seem like convincing reasons given that Ali رضي الله عنه and the other caliphs being born doesn’t seem like a big enough event and isra was a vision according to Ghamidi sahab

Contributor May 19, 2021 at 12:59 amAgain some is related to isra. Also the facts of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم being conceived snd his parents getting married- I would like to see evidence for this.
It can’t be related to travel because you don’t travel to hajj in rajab.
I think it’s just chosen for some reason we don’t know then?

Member May 19, 2021 at 1:24 amHere is my Personal Opinion: It might be that the month of Rajab falls very close to Ramzan. And Allah Talla wants us to prepare for this holy month mentally and physically. God Knows Best.
Also Rajab may also be related to a verb meaning “to remove”, so called because pre-Islamic Arabs would remove the heads of their spears and refrain from fighting.
God Bless.

Moderator May 20, 2021 at 6:30 pmSince Hajj is performed on a fixed date, any contingency happening in travelling would result in missing of the Hajj date. Therefore, more room was given for travelling purposes to avoid any contingency. However, Umra on the other hand can be performed anytime, therefore travelling can be planned accordingly considering any contingencies that may happen, and also delays would not result in missing of one’s Umra as opposed to Hajj.
