Salam,
The first day of the glorious month of Rajab was on THursday the 27th of July 2006.
There are various websites where you can go and look for teh corresponding dates between teh Gregorian and teh Islamic calendars.
By some reports, we know that it was the night of the 27th of Rajab when the Prophet's spirititual as well as physical (some scholars have questioned that s econd part) experience of M'ERAAJ took place. So the night between the 26th and the 27th is called SHAB-E-MERAAJ or LAYLATUL-ISRA.(See Qur'an 17:1).
The second significance of teh date is that the Prophet of Islam announced his mission on this day. Therefore, the day of the 27th of Rajab is also known as YAWM-E-B'ETHAT.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Syed-Mohsin Naquvi

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
