The meaning of Hajj:

The month of Dhu al-Hijjah falls at the end of all Islamic months. That is, it is the last month of the Islamic calendar. The first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah are very important. The specific acts of worship performed by those who come to visit the city of Mecca are called Hajj in Islamic terms and the acts of worship performed by them are called the rites of Hajj. In Islam, Hajj is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for everyone who can afford it. In the Quran, Hajj is the last and fifth pillar of Islam

The rituals of hajj:

It begins with the rites of Hajj from the 8th of Dhul-Hijjah. The first day of Hajj is called Yom al-Tarwiyah and it is the day of Zaljaj. On this day, the pilgrims perform Ghusl and Ihram. Reading the prayers of Wadi Manah is also included in this day. The second day of Hajj is the day of ‘Arafah and it is the day of the important day of Dhul-Hijjah. The second day of Haj is more important than the rest of the days. This is the day of forgiveness and it is called the day of ‘Arafah. On the same day, the great member of Hajj (Waqf Arafat) is performed. On that day, the pilgrims leave for Arafat. Waqf recites the prayer of Arafat and finally leaves for Muzdalifah and stays in the evening.

The third day of Hajj is called the day of Nahar, and Eid-ul-Azha is celebrated on the same day, but due to the busyness of the pilgrims and the importance of the rituals of Hajj on that day, the pilgrims offer Eid prayers. These are the programs of the day. Waqf is obligatory in Muzdalifah from Fajr prayers to sunrise on the 10th of Zilhaj. After this, there is a departure towards the mouth, and Jamrah Aqaba (ie the evil Shaitaan is stoned to death). After that, the sacrifice is made.

The fourth, fifth and Sixth day of Haj, that is 11, 12 13 which is called the days of Ramah. And on this day, after completing the Tawaf pilgrimage, the Tawaf farewell is performed and the Dua is offered while leaving the Ka’bahs.

10 Zill Hajjah day of Eid-ul-Adha:

Eid-ul-Adha is one of the major Islamic events celebrated around the year. Eid marks the end of the hajj which is a five-day religious journey to the grand mosque (Khana Ka’ba) of mecca in Saudi Arabia. this Eid is also known as the festival of sacrifice. this festival is based on Ibrahim’s devotion to sacrificing his son. Muslims around the world complete the Holy ritual along with the sacrifice of an animal n this festival. the celebrations last for 3 days, unlike Eid ul Fitr which is celebrated for one day. people celebrate this festival with great happiness and joy and send their warm wishes and offer prayers in the mosque.

Benefits of Hajj:

There are many benefits to performing Hajj. It washes away sins, just as water cleanses the dirt. This is an act of worship in which the spirit of all other acts of worship is present. For example, how zakat money is spent? Psychological desires are controlled by fasting, and this is also done in Hajj. Prayers in Haj are regularly performed with Takbir Oli. On the occasion of Hajj, the spirit of global unity of Muslims comes to the fore. Muslims of different colors, races, languages, nationalities, and nationalities seem to engage in the same dress and manner in remembrance of God.

Ramadan Fasting Rules:

Muslims fast between sunrise and sunset in Ramadan we eat twice a day. The first “iftar” time is when the sunsets. And the second time is called “Sahar” which we eat before sunrise. Ramadan is a month of innumerable benefits for all Muslims. The fast of this blessed month is useful for human beings and other universe creatures. This is the reason for the spirituality of Ramadan. In the early days of fasting, you feel a little hungry, but gradually the body becomes accustomed to it. The fat and other ingredients stored inside the body are used naturally.

The body’s needs are met automatically. In this basic life where fasting has spiritual, physical, and social benefits There, even in the Hereafter, blessings such as this well-being are especially rewarded to the fasting person. There is a hadith that says: Jannat has eight gates, one of which is called “Babul Rayan”, from which only fasting people will enter. Another hadith states: One who fasts one day for the sake of Allah will drive him away from the fire of Hell so far that a person can reach that distance for 70 years.

Importance of fasting in Islam:

Hazrat Abu Hurairah narrated that Muhammad (S.A.W.W) said: Whoever misses a day of Ramadan without any excuse (without travel and illness), Then, to compensate for this, the fasting tab will not make up for the lack of a single fast. Tirmidhi Abu Dawud. Fasting is very important in Islam. Fasting is a distance from the fire of hell. In the same way, whoever fasts for one day in the way of Allah, may Allah keep his face at a distance of seventy years from the fire.

Regarding the importance of fasting, Hazrat Sulaiman bin Umar has narrated Muhammad (S.A.W.W): Whoever of you is fasting should break his fast with a date If you can’t find dates, break your fast with water because water is a purifier. And in the Qur’an, in verse 185 of Surah Al-Baqarah, Allah says: The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed which is a guide for human beings there are clear arguments for guidance and separation of truth from falsehood. Then you Then whoever of you finds this month, let him fast in it.

The reward of the fasting person:

Muhammad’s (S.A.W.W) words are: He said that the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is more desirable to him than the smell of musk. It is as if the fasting person becomes more beloved to Allah. The smell of her mouth also seems pleasant. There is a place where even the fish of the sea  Dua the fasting people. There are many rewards for those who fast. A big one for them is the reward is the pilgrimage to Allah who will be blessed with fasting.

In addition, fasting, getting up, sitting down, and sleeping is considered as acts of worship. Forgiveness is offered to those who fast on the last night of Ramadan. The Companions asked: Is this night a night of forgiveness? He said no, the constitution is that the laborer should be paid at the end of the work. (Ibn Haban)

Ramadan Celebration:

Ramadan is a holy month. This is why Muslims are to help the poor and needy and it is celebrated to feel sympathy for them. And people are celebrated for focusing on their religion and their relationship with Allah. This month is celebrated by the Islamic community because of this month’s great importance in Islam. It is obligatory to fast this month. These fasts are observed before Fajr and are opened after sunset Celebrating Ramadan is an honor to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) and a way to control ourselves. The second reason for celebrating Ramadan is that the Qur’an was revealed in this month.

Importance of Ramadan:

The month of Ramadan is a month of blessings. It is the month for a Muslim to become a Muslim and make his deeds pleasing to Allah, to please Allah through wealth to the rich, and to do good to the poor in spite of their poverty. When this month comes, the atmosphere becomes light. Gives a wave of happiness to the believers and older people are driven by good deeds with sincerity. The children see them and join them in worship.

The importance and blessings of Ramadan can be gauged from this when Ramadan comes; the devils are imprisoned by the command of Allah. The gates of Heaven are opened and the gates of hell are banded. A demon whose work, men forbids good deeds and says evil deeds so, in this blessed month, cruel and dirty deeds are stopped. Therefore, the strongest proof of this is that most sinners avoid sins and worship Allah.

The Virtue & Worship of Ramadan:

In the Islamic, Calendar Ramadan is the 9th month. Ramadan is very important in Quran and Hadith. Ramadan is a blessed month that is mentioned in the Quran. In Quran, Allah says: The Quran was revealed in the month of Ramadan. (Surah Al-Baqarah Verses 185). And Verses 9 of Surah Al-Qadr says that one night (Laylatul al-Qadr) comes in this month which is better than a thousand nights. Hazrat Salman (RA) narrates that Muhammad said the last date of Shaban There is a month above you which is a blessed month. This night is more than a thousand nights. Allah made fasting obligatory in this month and made the night stay in it a reward.

Shab-e-Barat is a night of blessings and mercies. Shab-e-Barat meaning is the night of blessings this night is also called Laylatul Markah (Blessed Night), Laylatul Bara (the night of salvation from Hell), Laylatul Maghfirah (Night of forgiveness), and Laylatul Qismata Taqdeer (In which fate and destiny should be decided). This night is Laylatul Mubarak also mentioned in the Quran. In one place it is said, “And We revealed the Quran on a blessed night.” if we look Shab-e-Barat significance this night every wise deed is distributed, and in it, the conditions of the whole year are recorded. Sustenance, sickness, health, abundance, distress, comfort, even the time of every person who is born or dies in this year is written on this night. Allah says: “Therein in it, every wise deed is distributed” {Surah Dukhan Ayat 4.}

History of Shab-e-Barat:

The 15 night of Shaban is like a night of virtue. On this night the fate of all human beings is decided. But there is no mention of this night Shab-e-Barat in the Quran.  There is a hadith about Shab-e-Barat fazilat that Muhammad (S.A.W.W) said: Oh Ayesha do you know what happens that night? She asked: O Messenger of Allah, tell me what happens in this night. He (S.A.W.W) said: In this night it happens that one of the descendants of Adam (A.S) The person who is born this year and the person who dies that night will be written to die and be born. And the angels who are assigned to these tasks are informed and all the sustenance that the humans will get this year is written down.

And they say, “Is there any good humans who ask forgiveness from us, and we forgive him?” If someone asks for sustenance, should we give him sustenance? And if someone is in trouble, let us take away his trouble. In the same way, they say the same thing till dawn. That is why the Mans should worship and pray well that night.  That’s why Allah forgives everyone with His mercy and grace on this night. Except for the disbeliever, the polytheist does not forgive the one who hates. (Mashkuah Bagh-e-jannat Page 274).

Fasting of 15 Sha’ban:

One such is the 15^th Shaban, Shab-e-Barat fasting. In this regard, it is not mentioned in the Qur’an that the fast of 15 Sha’ban should be observed or in the hadith. Therefore, it is not permissible to call the fast of Sha’ban as Sunnah or Mustajab. However, the virtue of fasting the whole month of Shaban is proven by hadith. That is, from the first Sha’ban to the 27th Sha’ban. But fasting twenty-eight, twenty-nine, and thirty is banned. One of the reasons for this is that the fasts of Sha’ban and Ramadan should not be combined.

According to a tradition, Muhammad (S.A.W.W) used to fast on the day of ovulation every month That is, they used to fast on the 13, 14 and 15 of this month. Therefore, the fast of Sha’ban can be observed. Therefore, the fast of Sha’ban can be observed. But especially because it is the fast of Shab-e-Barat, it is not correct according to some scholars.

Dua for Shab-e-Barat:

Sha’ban is the month of forgiveness. Therefore, more and more Dua’s of Istighfar should be recited this month. The Dua for Shab-e-Barat which is narrated in Sunan Abi Dawood’s Hadith 1428 is as follows: O Allah, I seek refuge in your pleasure from your displeasure. And through your forgiveness from your punishment, I can’t praise you; of course, it’s like praising by yourself. The special prayers for Shab-e-Barat which Muhammad (S.A.W.W) taught to his companions and then narrated by Hassan Basri:  This is the special prayer of the night of Shab-e-Barat which is called Salat-ul-Khair. This prayer is performed in two rakats with a total of 100 rakats.

These hundred Rakats prayers are offered after Isha prayers on the night of Shab-e-Barat. In which after Surah Al-Fatiha in every Rakats Surah Al-Ikhlas is recited 10 times. About this prayer, Hassan Bassari says: I was told by 30 companions of Muhammad (S.A.W.W) who prays this prayer on the night of Barat, Allah looks at him seventy times and fulfills seventy needs by looking at him every time.

Shab-e-Barat’s Nawafil:

In view of the virtue of this night, everyone should be engaged in the recitation of the Quran and Nawafil and dhikr and meditation on this night. It is narrated from Hazrat Ali Murtaza (R.A) that Allah’s Messenger Muhammad (S.A.W.W) said: When the fifteenth night of Sha’ban comes, stay the night, that is, recite the Nawafil. This is a very blessed night. Imam Jafar Sadiq says that when Imam Muhammad Baqir was asked about the night of 15 Shaban. He said: This night is better than all nights except Shab-e-Qadr. Therefore one should try to get closer to God tonight. That night Allah bestows His grace on His servants and forgives their sins. Allah has sworn by His Holy Name that this night they will not return any person empty-handed. Allah has made this night special for us as He has made Shab-e-Qadr night special for us.

This is the great virtue of night awakening. Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin (RA) says: If one wakes up that night and prays, supplicates, and asks for forgiveness. So death will not come to his heart till the day when all hearts will die. The Shab-e-Barat Nawafil, Nafal for repentance must be read in the night Nawafil on 15^th of Shaban. In which one has to perform eight rak’ats Salat with two salams, after which one has to glorify Istighfar and repent of one’s sins.

Shab-e-Barat quotes:

Following are famous on Shab-e-Barat Quotes:

As everyone knows, the Quran is the word of Allah and it is safe. The Quran was revealed two times, once in Bait-ul-Ma’moor (which is the place of worship of the angels). And the second time it was revealed to Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W) little by little over a period of 23 years. The revelation of the Quran two times is clear from the style of the Quran itself. Numerous narrations have been narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas, The summary of which is that the Qur’an was first revealed to the whole sky at once, and the second time to Muhammad (S.A.W.W).

The purpose of revealing the Quran two times was to evaluate the glory and glory of the Quran. And the angels were told that this is the last book of Allah which is to be sent down for the guidance of the people of the earth. Now the question is when was the Qur’an revealed? According to the correct view, the revelation of the Quran took place on a single night of Ramadan. But there is no definite tradition as to what night it was. According to some scholars, the night of Ramadan is 17 known from some says 19, and from some narrations says 27 Ramdan. In Quran Surah Al Baqrah verse 185, Allah says: In the month of Ramadan, the Quran was revealed as a guide for the people in which are clear signs of right guidance and a standard (between truth and falsehood).

Beginning of revelation to Muhammad (S.A.W.W):

The first verses that were revealed to Muhammad were the first 5 verses of Surah Al-Alaq. The first verses that were revealed to Muhammad were the first 5 verses of Surah Al-Alaq. In Sahih Bukhari, Hazrat Aysha (R.A) narrates this incident as follows: Muhammad (S.A.W.W) had true dreams before revelation. After that Muhammad (S.A.W.W) became interested in solitude.

During this time Muhammad spent many nights in Ghar-e-Hira and worshiped.  Until one day Muhammad (S.A.W.W) through Hazrat Jibril (AS) received revelation from Allah. Beyond this, Muhammad himself says that Gabriel said: Iqra (Read) then prophet Muhammad said, “I am not educated.” Upon this answer of Muhammad, (S.A.W.W) Gabriel (A.S) grabbed him, and released him. then said: Iqra (Read),  then he gave the same answer. And Muhammad (S.A.W.W) said: then he again grabbed me for the third time and released me.

Then Gabriel recited the first 5 verses of Surah Al-Alaq and he asked Muhammad (S.A.W.W) to read. Read, (Oh Prophet) in the Name of your Allah Who created. Who created man from a clinging clot. Read! And your Allah is the Most Generous. Who taught with pen. He taught humans what they did not know. (Surah Al- Alaq Verses 1 to 5.) This period is called the period of revelation. Three years after the revelation, the Hazrat Gabriel (A.S) appeared again between heaven and earth. He (Jibraeel A.S) recited the verses of Surah Mudassir and after that, the same series of revelations continued for 23 years.

Purpose of the revelation of the Quran:

The purpose of the Qur’an is to guide mankind to the straight path. And also its purpose is also to translate the other three Holy books (Torah Zaboor & Injeel) because the previously revealed books kept changing with time and circumstances.

The real purpose of the revelation of the Quran is to guide humanity but even then we read it for the sake of reward, which is why we are deprived of the guidance of Allah. And ignorance is upon us. By the grace is Allah, He has given us such a book if we make it a real guide in our life So the possibility of error in life is never possible. Muhammad (S.A.W.W)said In his last sermon: I am leaving two things between you, if you hold fast to it you will never go astray and if you leave it you will go astray, And then he said: One of them is Quran and one is my Sunnah.

Nowhere in the Qur’an is it written that kiss it, apply to eyes and place it on a high place. Yes, this is a recommended method and comes with respect which no one can deny. Therefore, it is necessary to read the Qur’an with understanding so that one can understand the real purpose of the revelation of this book.

Quran is the source of guidance:

Allah has revealed the Qur’an to us for guidance at the very beginning of the Qur’an, The guidance of the Qur’an is very comprehensive. One of the characteristics of Islam is that if you look at the religion of Musa (A.S), you will find a few commandments. If you look at the religion of Isa (A.S), you will find ethics. But completely where there are rules and there is also morality, that is the Quran. And it is not that this book is giving guidance in one field of man and has left the other field. You will not see any space in this Book. Understand that there is not a single moment in the book from the purpose of life of man to the fulfillment of his purpose of life in which the Qur’an has not given guidance. Allah has said: Alif-Laam-Meem.

This is a book that no doubt, Guidance for those who fear Allah (Surah Al Baqra Verses 1 to 2). Quran Contains Everything a man needs to know. and this is a guide for its readers. Because there is no possibility of any kind of error or misinterpretation in this. The Quran is a light for those who distinguish between right and wrong and guide them. It is said in Surah Al-Anfal, referring to the true believers: And when the verses of Allah are recited to them, they increase their faith. (Surah Al-Anfal Verse No 2).  All the chapters of this book shed light on all human aspects and confirm the earlier holy books.

In verse 3 of Surah Al-Imran of the Qur’an, Allah says: He has sent down to you the Book of Truth confirming the previous books, and He has sent down the Torah and the Gospel.  In another place Allah says: And following in the footsteps of these Prophets, we sent Isa bin Maryam Those who confirmed the Torah, the first book of theirs and gave them the Gospel, which is a guide and a light and the Torah which confirms the Book before it, and guides and advises those who guard (against evil). { Surah Al-Maida:46}. The term Bible is not found in the Qur’an.

In Quran Bible is called the Injeel which was revealed to Prophet Isa (A.S). Except for the Qur’an, all other books have been distorted, so the Qur’an says that it is necessary to believe in these books but not to follow them. Because over time these books were changed. But the Qur’an bears witness to these books, and also Quran testifies to the nations upon which they are revealed.

Introduction of the Bible:

The Injeel (Gospel) is an Arabic word that means “Good news” that is called the Bible in modern times. The Gospel is the third inspired book revealed to Prophet Isa (A.S). And the Old Testament of the Bible was completed around 165 BC. The Injeel is never referred to by the Quran as a ‘Kitab’, (87:16) or ‘Kitabu Isa’ (Book of Isa), but plainly as ‘Injeel’.

Difference between Quran and Bible:

The Quran is the only book having the title “Kalamullah” Quran Comes from the highlights level of all his names with the title of Allah of the realms. Quran is a universal book addressing all humankind, all the positive and religious sciences as seeds, past and the future generations. Allah informed through ayahs to protect Quran and that no holy book shall be revealed after the Quran.

And Allah revealed the book of the Bible which meets the needs of a particular tribe, a particular age. The only people in the Bible who are mentioned are the people of that time. Bible treated only specific subjects such as Du’a advice etc. The Bible has been distorted over time this is the head of the Christian versions which has more than 200,000 differences.

What Is Rajab?

Rajab comes at number 7 in Islamic months. Rajab’s meaning is “to respect”. Rajab is a key to the months of goodness that follow it. In this regard, Imam Abu Bakr Al-Waraq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: In this regard, Imam Abu Bakr Al-Warraq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Rajab is like wind, the Shuban is like cloud and Ramadan is like rain, that is, sow the seed (goodness) in Rajab, water it in Shaban and reap the harvest in Ramadan.

Why Is Rajab Important?

Rajab is the month in which Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) Isra ascended from Makkah to Jerusalem and met Allah through the heavens. Rajab is counted among the 4 (Muharram, Rajab Zul Qada, and Zul Hajjah) sacred months in which the battles are forbidden. In Quran Surah Al Tobah Ayat 36 Allah says: Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve in the register of Allah (from) the day He created the heavens and the earth, of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them.  When the month of Rajab began, Muhammad would pray dua for Rajab:” Oh Allah, bless us in Rajab and Shaban and allow us to reach Ramzan.

Why Fast in Rajab?

Rajab month is very great. in this regard, Hazrat Imam Musa Kazim (A.S) said: In Rajab, Allah doubles the good deeds and removes the evil deeds. Whoever fasts in Rajab one day in this month is one year away from Hell. And whoever fasts for three days, then Paradise is obligatory for him.

Rajab Roza Fazilat:

Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) said: There are many virtues of fasting Rajab the fast of one day of Rajab is expiation for three years and the fast of another day is expiation for two years and the third day is the expiation of one year. Then the fast of every day is the expiation of every month.

Allah has sent messengers for the guidance of mankind who have conveyed the commands of Allah to the people. And this chain of guidance continued for a long time. Even when the man reached the stage of consciousness, Allah ended this chain of Prophethood on Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W). Through Hazrat Muhammad, Allah has revealed to mankind all the best principles for human beings in the form of a collection which is called the Quran. The Quran is the last book of guidance for mankind from Allah. The wisdom of Allah was that the scriptures before it were changed after a certain period of time. After which Allah revealed the Qur’an which is Allah’s last, complete and irrevocable guide for mankind till the Day of Resurrection.

The Qur’an was revealed to Muhammad (S.A.W.W) on various occasions over a period of 23 years. The complete Quran was revealed in a period of 23 years which was completed in 632 C E. In the Quran, there are 30 Siparas, 114 Chapters, 6666 Aayat, 540 Ruko,91 Makki Surahs, 23 Madni Surahs, 26 Mention of prophets, 4 names of the angels, and namaz has been mentioned 700 times. The Qur’an was completed in two periods, one in Mecca and one in Madinah.

Mecca Era:

In every instruction of the Qur’an, it is important to see at what time these verses were revealed. The part of the Qur’an that was revealed in Makkah is called Makki Surahs. These include 86 surahs. Makki Surahs are short and simple. In these Surahs, believing in the Oneness of Allah, believing in the Day of Judgment, believing in the reward of good deeds and the punishment of bad deeds, believing in Heaven and Hell, and Including teachings such as human moral character.

Madinah Era:

The part of the Quran which was revealed after the migration from Mecca to Madina is called Madani Surahs. The number of these surahs is 28. The Madani Surah has been long and called O believers in it. The principles mentioned in the Madani Surahs include Islamic law, financial matters; emphasis has been placed on establishing relations with ethics and other religions. Madani Surahs include the rules of Jihad. These Surahs are usually longer and include more social duties and responsibilities and rules of jihad.
