The Messenger of Allaah, (salallaahu alayhi wa sallam), said, The best of fasting after Ramadan is fasting Allaahs month of Muharram. [Muslim] The best of fasts besides the month of Ramadan is the fast during Allahs month of Muharram and the best of Salaats besides the Fardh (obligatory Salaat) is the Tahajjud Salaah (performed after midnight). (Sahih Muslim). THE DAY OF AASHURA (10th OF MUHARRAM) Ibn Abbaas (RA) says, I did not see Rasulullah (SAW) anxiously await the fast of any day, which he gave preference to over other days, but this day (of Aashura) and the month of Ramadan ( Bukhari, Vol. 1). With regard to the blessing of this fast, Nabi (SAW) was asked regarding its virtue. He answered, It is a compensation for the sins of the past year. i.e. the sins of one year that has just gone by will be forgiven. (Muslim, Vol. 1). Note: Only minor sins are forgiven. For the forgiveness of major sins, Towbah (repentance) is a prerequisite.
