VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER | BEST MONTH FOR FASTING AFTER RAMADAN ***SUNDAY 2ND NOVEMBER & MONDAY 3RD NOVEMBER*** We are currently in the first month of the Hijri Calendar, which is known as Muharram. It is one of the four sacred months and contains an immense amount of blessings. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allāh be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: أفضل الصيام بعد شهر رمضان شهر الله المحرم وأفضل الصلاة بعد الفريضة قيام الليل. The best fasting after the month of Ramadān is the month of Allāh Muharram, and the best prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night. [Reported by Muslim, 1163] So those of us who are able, should take full advantage of these days and try to increase in our voluntary fasting, and generally in our worship too. In the month of Muharram there is one day in particular which holds great significance, and that is the tenth day. Āshurā - 10th Muharram - MONDAY 3RD NOVEMBER 2014 On the authority of Abu Qatadah, the Prophet ﷺ said about fasting on the day of Āshurā, إني أحتسب على الله أن يكفر السنة التي قبله. Indeed I have hope upon Allāh that it will expiate for the (minor) sins of the previous year. [Reported by Muslim] Also in another Hadīth in Muslim, لئن بقيت إلى قابل لأصومن التاسع. If I remain alive in the next year, I will fast the 9th (along with the 10th in order to be different from the disbelievers). The 9th & 10th of Muharram will be on ***MonDAY 3ND NOVEMBER & TuesDAY 4ND NOVEMBER*** Let us not these opportunities pass us by without reaping the rewards. Try to remind as many people of this as possible to reap a share of their reward too (without diminishing their reward in any way). May Allāh have mercy on you all.
