The period prior to Ramadhan could be a good time for many Muslims to reflect on their Islamic months charity intentions, establish a giving budget and select the causes they want to give to. Rajab is the month that precedes Sha'ban and Ramadan in the Islamic lunar calendar, thus allowing families to get ready practically for the month to come. Charities can be more thought out when planned earlier, rather than rushing to give to all appeals, donors can check out organisations, know what they can give and understand where it is going.
What is meant by giving in Rajab?
Rajab is one of the four sacred months in Islam in which many people reflect and work on their habits prior to the month of Ramadhan. People even give sadqah in rajab as it is one of the four sacred months. They do it with the intention of doing Islamic month's charity. It is also the time early Ramadan donation can be planned and intended in a sincere manner, without the help of sensational promises or unconfirmed religious messages.
Sadqah can be done along with other charity acts and in a comprehensive program that extends to Sha'ban and Ramadan. A person may designate a reasonable amount, donate to a cause that they have studied or make a planned dontaion instead of giving impulsively. The best plan is one that is honest, inexpensive, and consistent with the donors' responsibilities and situation.
