Approaching the Holy Months of Rajab, Sha'aban & Mahe Ramadhan

Holy Month of Rajab

Imam Jaffer-as-Sadiq narrates as follows:

"Nuh (a.s.) boarded his ark on the first of Rajab and ordered his companions to fast on that day. He said that Hell goes away to a distance of one year from one who fasts on this day. One who fasts for seven days all the seven doors of Hell would be closed for him. One who fasts for eight days all eight doors of Paradise would be opened for him. One who fasts for fifteen days would have his problems solved. One who fasts for more than this Allah, the Mighty and Sublime would grant him a greater reward."

[Reference: Sawaabul A'amaal & Iqaabul A'amaal, Page 84- 85]
