Book Name:Tarbiyat e Aulad
O those who value Rajab-ul-Murajjab! If there is no obstruction to learning and teaching and earning Halal sustenance, if parents do not prevent you without any reason and if it does not involve violating the rights of another, then alongside fasting for all three months or the Fard fasts of Ramadan-ul-Mubarak, those who are able to should very quickly keep as many Nafl fasts as possible; eat little during Suhoor and Iftar and apply the Qufl-e-Madinah of stomach. If only the blessings of fasts would spread in every home and in all of my Madaris-ul-Madinah and Jami’aat-ul-Madinah; start fasting from the 1st of Rajab.
The virtue of the first three fasts of Rajab
What can be said about the first three fasts of Rajab! Sayyiduna Abdullah Bin Abbas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُما narrates that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘The fast of the first day of Rajab is an expiation for three years, the fast of the second day is an expiation for two years and the fast of the third day is an expiation for one year, and then the fast of every day is an expiation for a month.’ (Jami’-us-Sagheer, p. 311, Hadees 5051)

Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ states: Even if you have already read them, still read the two booklets: (1) ‘The Return of the Shroud’ and (2) ‘The Month of My Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.’ Every year, in the month of Sha’ban-ul-Mu’azzam, read the chapter ‘Blessings of Ramadan’ from volume one of Faizan-e-Sunnat as well.
