Devotees observing month of Rajab in Iran, Saudi Arabia

By: Abdulali/ S. M. Khurasani

HOLY CITY OF QOM/ SEHAT: Marking the holy month of Rajab, Aamaal (special deeds, aytakaaf, supplications and prayers) are being performed in the holy cities of Mashhad and Qom – home to the holy shrines of Hazret Imam-e-Reza (AS) and Hazret Fatimeh Al-Masumeh (AS) – in particular and across Iran in general as well as Saudi Arabia.

Rajab, the one of those four months, which are called the months in which fighting was prohibited and they are Rajab, Zeeqa'ad, Zilhajj and Muharram, is the 7th month of Islamic calendar. Allah has bestowed to it honour, respect, glory and preference.
 
A saying of Holy Prophet (peace of Allah be upon him his progeny) goes:

"Rajab is the month of Ali (AS), Shabaan mine while Ramazan that of Allah's"

In Saudi Arabia, Aamal of Ommi Daud – a three-day special deed of Rajab which consists of fasting, bathing and prayers - were performed at different venues in the oil-rich mo’minin-dominated eastern region.

Large number of worshippers did Aamal of Ommi Daud in Al-Imam Al-Hasan (AS) mosque in Sehat city.                          


 
  "Knowledge is better than wealth because it protects you while you have to guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE ..
