Assalamu Alaikum,
Alhamdu Lillah we have just started the month of Rajab and this is one of the sacred months in Islam. The Prophet (peace be upon him) would begin his preparations for Ramadan from this month with the following Dua:
‘Allahuma Barik lana fi Rajaba wa Sha’bana wa ballighna Ramadhan’
Translated as follows:
“O Allah, make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan.”
(i.e. prolong our life up to Ramadan, so that we may benefit from its merits and blessings).
[Mentioned by Abu’ Nu’aim in the ‘Hilya’ from Anas Ibn Malik]

“When a man dies, his acts come to an end, but three, recurring charity, or knowledge (by which people) benefit, or a pious son, who prays for him (for the deceased).”

Assalamu ‘Alaikum,
Alhamdu Lillah the Sacred Month of Rajab 1430 begins today insha Allah. Please see below moon sighting report from Shaykh Muhammad Afifi Al-Akiti:
Dr. Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti (MCW member) Oxford UK reported: Not Seen in UK, but seen in Morocco
The two of us attempted to perform the sighting of Rajab after Maghrib on Tuesday 23 June (the 29th day of Jumada l-Akhir for the UK). Although the horizon is clear, the crescent could not be sighted. Still, we received news of positive sightings to the East of the UK from Morocco and South Africa. This news, despite not being able to sight locally, makes it sufficient for the day of 1st Rajab to be tomorrow, on Wednesday 24 June, for those in the UK, by following the basic rule [dabit] in Islamic Law in this matter that whenever it is known that the crescent has been positively sighted in the East, local sighting inevitably follows, but not the other way round. Therefore, the 27th of Rajab in the UK should fall on Monday 20 July (beginning from Sunday’s Maghrib).

The Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:
“Verily, truly time has revolved like the day on which Allah created the heavens and the earth! The year is twelve months, including four [that are] sacrosanct; three consecutive [months]: Dhu al-Qa`da, Dhu al-Hijja, and al-Muharram; and Mudhar’s Rajab which is between Jumada and Sha`ban.”
