Rajab is the seventh month of the Islamic calendar and it is the month which comes after Jumada Al Thani. Rajab 2023 starts from 22 January to 20 February 2023.
The word "Rajab" came from "rajūb (رجوب)", the sense of veneration or glorification, and Rajab was also formerly called "Mudhar" because the tribe of Mudhar did not change it but rather expected in its time other than the rest of the Arabs, who changed and altered in the months according to the state of war.
Rajab is also the month during which Isra' Mi'raj of the prophet, Muhammad (SAW) , took place.
