قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله : من صام اول يوم من رجب وجبت له الجنة ،
The Holy Prophet (pbuhp) said: "He who fasts on the first day of Rajab month shall enter Heaven."
عيون اخبار الرضا عليه السلام باسناده الى الرضا عليه السلام قال : من صام اول يوم من رجب رغبة في ثواب الله عز وجل وجبت له الجنة ومن صام يوما من وسطه شفع في مثل ربيعة ومضر ، ومن صام يوما في آخره
جعله الله عز وجل من ملوك الجنة ، وشفعه في ابيه وامه وابنه وابنته ، واخيه واخته ، وعمه وعمته ، وخاله وخالته ، ومعارفه وجيرانه ، وان كانوا مستوجبي النار
Imam Al-Rida (pbuh) said: "He who fasts on the first day of Rajab, desiring the reward of Allah, shall enter Heaven. He who fasts one of the days of mid Rajab shall intercede for a number of
people equal to Rabia and Modar (Two great Arab tribes), and he who fasts one of the days of the end of Rajab shall be rewarded by Allah by becoming one of the kings of Heaven and shall intercede
for his father, mother, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, acquaintances and neighbors, even if they were worthy of entering Hell."
قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: سمع نوح عليه السلام صوت السفينة على الجودي فخاف عليه ، فاخرج رأسه من جانب السفينة ، فرفع يده واشار بأصبعه وهو يقول :
رهمان اتقن ، وتأويلهما : يا رب احسن ، وان نوحا عليه السلام لما ركب السفينة ركبها في اول يوم من رجب ، فأمر من معه من الجن والإنس ان يصوموا ذلك اليوم ، وقال : من صامه منكم تباعدت عنه النار مسيرة
سنة ، ومن صام سبعة ايام .منه غلقت عنه ابواب النيران السبعة ، وان صام ثمانية ايام فتحت له ابواب الجنة الثمانية ، ومن صام عشرة ايام اعطي مسألته ، ومن صام خمسة عشر يوما قيل له ، استانف العمل فقد غفر
لك ، ومن زاد زاده الله
Imam al-Baqer (pbuh) said: "When Prophet Noah rode the ark, he rode on it on the first day of Rajab month, so he ordered all humans and Jinn with him to fast that day. Verily, he who fasts this
day from anyone of you, the fire of Hell shall be far from him like a distance of a one year journey. He who fasts seven days, the seven doors of Hell shall be forbidden to him, and if he fasts
eight days; the eight doors of Heaven shall be opened for him. He who fasts ten days shall have his needs fulfilled, and he who fasts fifteen days shall be told: 'Continue your deeds, for Allah
has forgiven you.' He who fasts more, Allah shall grant him more."

Salaat of Salman Farsi
Hadrat Salmaan narrates that the Beloved of Allah, Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) said "O Salmaan, there is no Mumin (True Believer) and Muminah (Truly Believing Female) who performs 30 Raka'ah in
the month of Rajab ( 10 units on 1st , 10 units on 15th & 10 units last day) and in each Raka'ah recites Surah Al Faatihah once, Surah Al-Ikhlaas 3 times, and Surah Al Kafiroon 3 times that
Allah 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 is equal to that of the martyr. He will be raised with the Martyrs of the Holy Battle of Badr. For him is written for the fast of each day, one year's
worship. His station is raised 1000 times higher.
If he fasts the entire month of Rajab and he performs this (Above) Salaat, Allah will give him salvation from the Hell Fire, make Waajib for him, His Paradise and bestow His Nearness upon
him. Hadrat Jibreel informed me "O Muhammad this is the sign between you and the Mushrikeen (Polytheists) and the Munaafiqeen (Hypocrites) because the Munafiq does not perform this
Salaat."
10 Raka'ah on the first of it (month of Rajab) and in each Raka'ah recite Surah Al-Faatihah once, Surah Al Ikhlaas thrice and Surah Al Kafiroon thrice and after you do your Salaam (at the
end of each 2 units) raise your hands and say:
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ،
لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ،
يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ،
وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لا يَمُوتُ،
بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ،
وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
"There is no God but Allah, The One Who has no partners. To Him belongs all His kingdom and all the praise, Who created life and death and Who is Alive without Death. From His hands (only)
good is done and Who has Power over everything.
The following invocation should be said thereafter:
اللّهُمَّ لا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ،
وَلا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ،
وَلا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدَّ.
Dearest Allah, no one can stop what You bestow and no one can give what You prevent. There is no one who can profit us except You the August among all. "Then spread your hands over your
face.
In the middle of the month 15 Rajab perform similar 10 Raka'ah and in each Raka'ah recite Surah Al Faatihah once, Surah Al Ikhlaas thrice, and Surah Al Kafiroon thrice and after you do your
salaam (at the end of each 2 units) raise your hands towards the heavens and say:
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ،
لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ،
يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ،
وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لا يَمُوتُ،
بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ،
وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
Then recite:-
The Lord Who is One, One and Only, Singular, and Besought by the all.
إلهاً وَاحِداً أَحَداً فَرْداً صَمَداً،
He has betaken neither a wife nor a son.
لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَداً.
Then spread your hands over your face
At the end of the month, similar 10 Raka'ah. In every Raka'ah recite Surah Al Faatihah one, Surah Al Ikhlaas thrice and Surah Al Kafiroon thrice. After you do your salaam, raise your hand
towards the heaven and say the same thing that on the first day
Then recite
May Allah send blessings upon Muhammad and upon his Family, the Immaculate.
There is neither might nor power save with Allah, the Most High, the All-great.
Supplication after every obligatory prayer:
O who I plead for every goodnees, and I feel safe with his rage at every evilness,
O who grants plenty by few, O who grants who asked him, O who grants who didn’t ask him , or even knew him, -as an act of kindness and mercy-
Grant me all the goodness of this world, in what I ask you for,
And all the goodness of the last world,
And keep me away from all the evilness of this world, in what I ask you for
And all the evilness of the last world
What you grant is not to end
And enrich me from you merit, O Most Generous
O who owns Honor and Dignity, O who owns Blessings and Generosity
O who owns Endless Merit, prevent my gray beard from the fire of hell
يَا مَنْ أَرْجُوهُ لِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ ، وَ آمَنُ سَخَطَهُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ شَرٍّ ، يَا مَنْ يُعْطِي الْكَثِيرَ بِالْقَلِيلِ، يَا مَنْ يُعْطِي مَنْ سَأَلَهُ ، يَا مَنْ يُعْطِي مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ
وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ تُحَنُّناً مِنْهُ وَ رَحْمَةً ، أَعْطِنِي بِمَسْأَلَتِي إِيَّاكَ جَمِيعَ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا ، وَ جَمِيعَ خَيْرِ الْآخِرَةِ ، وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي بِمَسْأَلَتِي إِيَّاكَ جَمِيعَ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَ شَرِّ الْآخِرَةِ ، فَإِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَنْقُوصٍ مَا أَعْطَيْتَ ، وَ زِدْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ
یا ذَاالْجَلالِ وَالاِْکْرامِ یا ذَاالنَّعْماَّء وَالْجُودِ
یا ذَاالْمَنِّ وَالطَّوْلِ حَرِّمْ شَیْبَتى عَلَى النّار

Prayer at every Friday in Rajab:
The Holy Prophet (pbuhp) said: "Allah shall record for who prays on a Friday of Rajab a Salat of four Rika'as between the prayer of Noon and Afternoon (Al-Zohr and Al-Asr), reciting in each
Rika'a Al-Fatiha Surah once, the verse of Al-Kursi seven times, Al-Tawhid Surah five times, and then says: "I ask Allah for forgiveness, Allah Who there is no god but Him, and I seek repentance,"

palace of white Durr in Heaven. Allah shall also marry him Hour Al-Ein (Maidens of Heaven) and be content with him without any wrath. He will be registered as one of the worshipers and his life

Imam Sadiq (pbuh) used to say this prayer everyday of Rajab:
Dissatisfied are those who seek the company of someone other than You. Losers are those who ask for anyone but You. Lost are those who know anyone but you. Hunger and thirst will strike
those who ask for other than Allah's grace. Your door is open for those who desire You. Your blessings are granted for those who call for it. Your grace is open for those who ask for it. Your
endowments are reachable for those who have hope. Your bestowments are spread for the sinners. You have tolerance upon those who have malice towards You. Your habit is to give charity to those
who upset You and Your way is to allow assaulters to survive. O Allah, grant me the guidance of those who found the way and the diligence of the diligent ones. O Allah, don't allow me to be of
those who are negligent and banned and forgive me on the Day of Religion (Judgment Day).

A Prayer Said Everyday of Rajab
It was reported that Imam Zain Al-Abedeen (pbuh) said this prayer on the first days of Rajab:" O who holds the needs of those who ask and knows what is in the conscience of those who remain
silent, You have a listening ear and answer for every request we make. O Allah, I swear to You by Your sincere promises, Your giving hands and Your great mercy and ask You to send Your praises
and blessings upon Mohammad and the household of Mohammad and to grant me all my needs in this life and in the Hereafter. You are the All- Powerful."
روي أنّ الإمام زين العابدين (صلوات اللّه وسلامه عليه) دعا بهذا الدّعاء في الحجر في غرّة رجب: يا مَن يملك حوائج السّائلين, ويعلم ضمير الصّامتين, لكلّ مسألة منك سمعٌ حاضرٌ وجوابٌ
عتيد, اللّهمّ ومواعيدك الصّادقة وأياديك الفاضلة ورحمتك الواسعة, فأسألك أن تصلّي على محمّد وآل محمّد وأن تقضي حوائجي للدّنيا والآخرة إنّك على كلّ شيء قدير.

It was reported that Alshaikh Abi Alqasem (consent of Allah be upon him) came out of Alnahia Almoqaddasa on the days of Rajab with this Do'aa (prayer) in his hand: O Allah, I plead you by
those who were born in Rajab, Mohammad Bin Ali the Second and his son Ali Bin Mohammad the Chosen One. By them, I wish to have the greatest closeness to You. O who is asked favors and what He has
is desired. I plead with You as a sinful offender who has been doomed by his sins and chained by his faults until he became devoted to committing trespasses and sins to grant me repentance and a
good return; to allow me to be remote from sins, rescue me from Hell and forgive all what I have committed. For, You, my Master, are my greatest hope and trust. O Allah, I ask You by honorable
requests and by the ways that please You to embrace me on this month with Your great mercy and graces. I ask You to grant me a soul that is contented with everything You bestow upon it until
death, the Hereafter and what it will encounter.

The Virtue of Reciting Surat Al-Tawheed:
The Messenger of Allah (pbuhp) said: "He who reads throughout his life the Surah: (Say: Allah is indeed One) (Qol howallaho Ahad ( ten thousand times with a sincere intention in the month
of Rajab shall come on the Day of Resurrection cleansed from his sins as the day his mother gave birth to him and then seventy angels will welcome him and foretell him the good tidings of
entering Heaven."
Another Hadith of the Prophet (pbuhp) states: "He who reads the Surah: (Say: Allah is indeed One) (Qol howallaho Ahad) a thousand times shall come on the Day of Resurrection with the deeds
of a thousand prophets and a thousand angels. No one shall be closer to Allah but who has done more which is multiplied in the month of Rajab."
Another Hadith of the Prophet (pbuhp) states: "He who reads the Surah: (Say: Allah is indeed One) (Qol howallaho Ahad) a hundred times shall be blessed along with his offspring, family and
neighbors. Moreover, Allah Almighty shall build twelve castles adorned with gemstones and rubies in Heaven and shall record a million good deeds for who reads it in Rajab. Thereafter, He shall
say: "Take My servant and show him what I prepared for him, so ten thousand stewards, who were assigned to manage his households in Heaven, come to him. They open for him a million castles of
gemstones and a million castles of ruby all adorned by gems, rubies, jewels and ornaments and can never be described but by Allah Almighty. When he sees them, he will be astonished and say: "For
what prophet is this?" He will be told: "It is yours for reading: (Say: Allah is indeed One
