Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
Safar al-Khayr is the second month of the Islamic Hijri calendar.
Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil ar-Rabbaniق said:
“Safar is a challenging month, therefore they say Safar-ul Khayr so it would be a means towards beneficence (khayr). There is wisdom in everything.
One must know the blessed days, blessed months, heavy months, more average months. Allah ﷻ created everything with wisdom.
When we are aware of them, we receive their benefits, rewards, and our state goes higher. He ﷻ causes them to be of benefit both materially and spiritually.”
Therefore, as Safar is a heavier month, we are encouraged to observe its adab and keep to its wazifas for protection from trials and calamities.
The greatest musibah is the loss of faith or being removed from this Way.
As such, we must make abundant du’as for both physical and spiritual protection for ourselves and our families.
The most important day to note this month is the last Wednesday of Safar, which falls on 20th August 2025.
*Please note that dates may vary from country to country depending on local moon sightings. Kindly follow your local authority where applicable.
For simplicity and consistency, the dates mentioned here follow Mawlanaق’s calendar.

These days are known as the White Days, during which it is Sunnah to fast.
This practice began with Sayyidina Adam (AS). When he started eating from the food of this world, his skin darkened compared to its brightness in Jannah.
He asked Sayyidina Jibril (AS) how to clear this darkness, and he was taught to fast these three days every month.
