Fasting On The Day Of 'ashura (10th Muharram) by Ahmed4002(m): 9:34am On Nov 02, 2014 |
Today 10th of Muharram which is equivalent to 2/11 / 2014 it's expected every Muslim to fast on this day and the following day. It was narrated from Ibn "Abbas ( may Allah be pleased with them ) that the messenger of Allah ( peace be upon him) came to Al - madinah and found the Jews fasting on the day of ' Ashura. The messenger of Allah ( P.B.U.H ) said to them: "what is this day that you are fasting? " they said: "this is a great day, on which Allah saved Moses (P.B.U.H ) and his people. moses (P.B.U.H ) fasted on this day out of gratitude and we fast it too". The messenger of Allah ( P.B.U.H ) said: "we are more entitled to be closer to moses (P.B.U.H ) than you", and the messenger of Allah ( P.B.U.H ) fasted (on this day) AND Enjoined FASTING ON IT. source: Sahih Muslim, Vol no. 3, the book of fasting. Hadith 2658. Abu Qatada (radi Allahu anhu) relates that the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that the fast on the 10th of Muharram atones for the sins of the preceding year. [Sahih Muslim] It is reported from Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that after Ramadan, the fasts of Muharram have the greatest excellence. [Sahih Muslim] The 10th of Muharram was the day that Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) delivered Musa (alaihis salam) and the Bani Israil from Egypt and drowned Firaun and his people. Musa (alaihis salam) thus observed fast on this day out of gratitude to Allah (subhana wa ta’ala). When the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) came to Madina he found the Jews fasting on this day for this reason. Because Muslims follow unaltered revelation, they are closer to Musa (alaihis salam) than the Jews are. Thus, Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) inspired Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) to fast on the tenth of Muharram too and tell the Muslims to fast on that day as well. But to distinguish ourselves from the Jews, Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) told us to fast on either the 9th or the 11th along with the 10th. [Sahih Bukhari] 16 Likes 2 Shares |

The month of Muharram is the first month of the Arabic year, and it is one of the four sacred months of Allaah. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allaah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein” [al-Tawbah 9:36] al-Bukhaari (3167) and Muslim (1679) narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The division of time has turned to its original form which was current the day Allaah created the heavens and earth. The year consists of twelve months of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab of Mudar which comes between Jumada and Sha’baan.” It was proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that the best fasting after Ramadaan is fasting in the month of Muharram. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best fasting after Ramadaan is the month of Allaah Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night.” Narrated by Muslim, 1163. 14 Likes 1 Share |

So he (the Prophet Muhammad) fasted on this day and told the people to fast. Al-Shaafa’i and his companions, Ahmad, Ishaaq and others said: It is mustahabb [recommended] to fast both the ninth and the tenth, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fasted the tenth and intended to fast the ninth. Based on this, there are different ways of fasting ‘Ashoora’, the least of which is to fast the tenth only, but it is better to fast the ninth as well. The more one fasts in Muharram, the better. (islamqa.info) The prophet observed the fast on Ashuraa (the 10th of Muharram), and ordered (Muslims) to fast on that day. (Agreed upon Hadith i.e. Bukhari & Muslim). Narrated by Abi Katada: The prophet was asked about fasting on ‘Ashuraa’ (the 10th of Muharram), he said: “it expiates the previous year (for sins).” (Sahih Muslim) It was proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that the best fasting after Ramadaan is fasting in the month of Muharram. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The best fasting after Ramadan is the month of Allah Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night.” Narrated by Muslim, 1163. http://www.iqrasense.com/islamic-history/ ashura-of-muharram-a-shia-and-sunni- muslim-observance.html 7 Likes |

Allahu akbar just lots of morals in this story let me see the ones i can remember 1) you can't change Allah's will....when firaun heard about the unborn child, he ordered the killing of all male children born at that time but when Allah wills nabi musa was brought up in his palace 2) no matter the number of opposition if Allah is by your side you'll be victorious........1.6 million soldiers against six hundred people says it all 3)when all hope is lost trust Allah.the followers of nabi musa thought it was over at the sight of firaun near the sea 4)it proves the authenticity of Al quran as word of God and not fabrication from muhammad...... No other scripture talks about the preservation of firauns body 12 Likes 1 Share
