The Significance of the Last Friday of Rajab
Rajab, the seventh month in the Islamic lunar calendar, is a sacred month preceding the holy month of Ramadan. It's a time of preparation, spiritual cleansing, and increased devotion. The last Friday of Rajab is considered particularly auspicious, with many believing it's a time when prayers are more likely to be answered. This belief stems from various narrations and traditions within Islam, highlighting the importance of sincere prayer and devotion during this period.
Why is Doa Mustajab on this Day?
While there's no single definitive verse in the Quran explicitly stating this, the heightened spiritual atmosphere of the month and the proximity to Ramadan contribute to the belief in the acceptance of doa on this particular Friday. The emphasis on seeking forgiveness, repentance (taubah), and increased worship during Rajab creates a fertile ground for spiritual connection and the acceptance of sincere prayers. Many Muslims believe that Allah SWT is more inclined to grant prayers made with genuine faith and devotion during such blessed times.
