The following is from a mailing list I belong to. According to the Malaysian takwim (Islamic calendar), 1st Rajab 1434 this year falls on Saturday 11th May 2013, inshaAllah.
With the blessed month of Rajab soon upon us, please benefit from the advice delivered by Sayyidī al-Habīb `Umar bin Hafīz (may Allāh preserve him and benefit us by him) on the blessings of Rajab and the realities of repentance.
We have also included a collection of istighfār formula that Habīb `Umar has recommended us to recite throughout the month.
May Allāh make us of the eternally felicitous, of those who are oft-returning in repentance to Him, and may He bless us and give us to take advantage of the remaining time we have in this life.
