क़मर दर अक़रब – 23 रजब

Qamr Dar Aqrab refers to the period when the Moon transits through the zodiac sign of Scorpio (Aqrab). In Islamic tradition, this period — typically lasting 2–3 days each lunar month — is considered inauspicious for beginning new ventures, marriages, travel, and other important undertakings. Many scholars and spiritual guides advise Muslims to exercise caution during these days, increase their Dhikr and Salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ, and avoid starting significant new projects or journeys.

The concept is rooted in the Islamic tradition of observing celestial signs and their potential influence on worldly affairs, while maintaining that ultimate control belongs only to Allah SWT. Muslims are advised to recite protective duas, increase charity, and maintain a state of Wudu during these days as a precautionary spiritual practice.
