Allah Ta\u2019ala explains in the Qur\u2019an that the year is based on a 12 month cycle, this system of timekeeping having been adopted since the creation of the world. The 150-year activities and detailed records of the \u2018Maankykers\u2019 of Cape Town demonstrates the attachment Muslim communities should have towards moonsighting, which is a Fardh-Kifayah (compulsory) duty. Rajab is one of the four auspicious months in the Islamic calendar, in which the rewards for Ibadah and the retribution for sins is multiplied. It signifies the beginning of a high spiritual season, which Nabi-Kareem Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would commence with reciting the beautiful Du\u2019a seeking Barakah in the months of Rajab and Sha\u2019ban, and to reach Ramadan. Start preparation in earnest from the outset of Rajab, with a strong intention and \u2018winds\u2019 of Ibadah, to gain from the spiritual rains of Ramadan, and Allah Ta\u2019ala in His Mercy will grant us the reward. Spend some time in Ibadah on the first night of Rajab, identified by Imam Shafi\u2019 (R) from amongst the nights of special acceptance of Du\u2019a. Considering the many warning signs and reminders, be in a state of preparedness and use this window of opportunity from Allah Ta\u2019ala to put one\u2019s affairs in order.<\/p>\n<p>Duration:
