- In Islam, space and time are not all equal in importance. Some are more important than others
- Eg dawn is more sacred than other times of the day, Friday is more sacred than other days, your prayer space is more sacred compared to other parts of the home
- Similarly, 4 months are more 'spiritual' than others: Rajab, Zilq'ad, Zilhajj, Muharram
- Rajab is the beginning of what is known as the spiritual season
- Fasting is recommended throughout Rajab on various days
- If you have missed any wajib fasts, then you cannot do sunnat fasts, you must make up the wajib ones first
- You may use the special days to make up for those fasts, and receive the reward for them also
- First Thursday of Rajab is known as Laylatul Ragha'ib, the night of fulfillment of wishes. Recommended to fast on that day, and do the appropriate a'maal

"When we talk about the spiritual condition of the human heart, you start wondering about those so-called Muslims, who actually choose a sacred place, on a sacred day, during a sacred month, to set off bombs in masajid, Hussainiyyahs, & shrines. Either they're not reading the right books, or they're on the path of the Shaytan. If there is a possibility of guidance, may God guide them; & if not, may He eliminate this menace from the Earth."
