One of the four sacred months
The Prophet ﷺ named Rajab of Muḍar as one of the four sacred months, alongside Muharram, Dhul-Qaʿdah and Dhul-Hijjah.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4662 ↗ · Qur’an 9:36 ↗
What to do in Rajab
Use the month as a reason to renew tawbah, protect the five prayers, read Qur’an, make dhikr, give charity and avoid wrongdoing. These are good deeds throughout the year; this page does not invent a special Rajab-only checklist.
Isrāʾ & Miʿrāj
The Night Journey and Ascension are firmly established in Qur’an and authentic hadith. The journey is especially important to Salah because the five daily prayers were prescribed during the Ascension.

Charity is always a virtuous deed, but this site does not claim a unique Rajab-specific reward for charity without reliable evidence. Give for Allah’s sake without attaching an invented promise to the month.
