Today, December 25, 2025, with the evening prayer, the blessed night of Lejletur-regaib, which Muslims traditionally celebrate on the eve of the first Friday of the month of Rajab, begins.
In Rajab, Muslims celebrate another Mubarak night – Laylatul Mi’raj.
On the blessed night of Lejletur-regaib, which is colloquially called the Night of Desires, Hazr. Amina felt that she had carried away her son Muhammad, peace be upon him
Muslims around the world use this Mubarak night as well as the days of the selected months of Rajab and Sha’ban for voluntary worship and gratitude to God for the immense good with which the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was sent to all worlds.
Given that prayer is a strong and unbreakable bond that binds the Creator and his creatures, Lejletur-regaib is an opportunity for Muslims to repentantly ask the Almighty for guidance and bereket for themselves, their families and all believers. By worshiping on Mubarak nights, God’s servants are reminded of the day when “property and sons will not be of use, only the one who comes to Allah with a pure heart will be saved.” (Esh-Shu’ara, 89.)
Beyheki and Asakir, transmitting from Enes, may God bless him and grant him peace, record the tradition that at the beginning of the month of Rajab, the Prophet, peace be upon him, recited the prayer: Allahumme barik lena fi Rajab ve Sha’bane, ve belligna Ramadan – “Allah, make us blessed in Rajab and Sha’ban and enable us to meet Ramadan.”
With this prayer, the Prophet, peace be upon him, directly pointed to the selection and blessedness of Rajab and Sha’ban because they are the harbingers of the arrival of the month of Ramadan. In general, it is customary to say about the three selected months: “The month of Rajab is the month of sowing, the month of Sha’ban is the month of watering what is sown, and the month of Ramadan is the month of harvesting.”
In our tradition, the three blessed months mentioned in the prayer of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, are also called “Uchayluk”. This name originated from the Turkish words: “uč” which means – three and the word – “ajluk”, which means – moon.
Believing in a special reward for worship in these months, especially devout believers traditionally fast “Uchayluka”, showing with this act of godliness and obedience to God strong faith and hope that with a three-month fast, refraining from sin, mastering urges and increased self-control, they will reach immeasurable bereket in these months, stated the Directorate for Religious Affairs Rijaset of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, reports Revival.
