Indeed, the number of months in the sight of God is twelve months, in God’s decree when He created the heavens and the earth, among which four months are forbidden. That is the (ruling) of the straight religion, so do not persecute yourselves in the fourth month, and fight all the polytheists as they fight you all, and know that God is with those who fear God.
Come on, we know more about the rewards of Rajab fasting.
Rajab Fasting Rewards
The month of Rajab is the month that comes before the months of Sha’ban and Ramadan. Whoever fasts, surely Allah will glorify us with a thousand glories on the Day of Judgment. That is implied in Surah At-Taubah verse 36 above.
To welcome the month of Rajab, the scholars suggest that we recite a prayer that reads as follows:

“May Allah bless us and make Ramadan prosperous.”
It means:
“Oh God, bless us in the months of Rajab and Sha’ban, and let us reach Ramadan.”
When we have read the prayer, God willing, the worship activities we perform during the month of Rajab are always in the protection and pleasure of Allah SWT. Including, if you perform Rajab fasting. You will get the following rewards:
Fasting one day in the month of Rajab will make us get Paradise. Fasting for one day makes fasting forty years. Fasting two days during the month of Rajab, our reward will be multiplied. Fasting three days in the month of Rajab, we will be prevented from the punishment of hell. Fasting for seven days in the month of Rajab, then the gates of hell will be closed for us. Fasting for sixteen days in the month of Rajab, then we will be able to see the face of God in heaven and become people who have the right to visit God in heaven. Even if we fast at the beginning of the month, in the middle, and at the end of the month, we will get a reward like fasting for a month. Our sins will also be forgiven, as long as we ask for forgiveness and repent in the month of Rajab. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, “The month of Rajab is a month of asking for forgiveness for my people, so they should increase istighfar in it.”
That is what can be discussed regarding the reward of fasting Rajab. Hopefully useful for you
