The “Rajab ul Murajjab” word explanation is “to respect” according to the classical Arabic vocabulary which would also mean “to be awe of Allah or keep you in frightened”.

It is also a month of looking for forgiveness more than usual as Allah is sympathetic and generous during this Rajab ul Murajjab month.
