THE VIRTUES OF THE MONTH OF MUHARRAM 🌙🌙

1/ This month of Muharram has so many virtues, one of which is fasting this month.

The Noble Prophet (SAW) said:

"The most rewarding fasting after Ramadhan is fasting in Muharram."
2/ It is recommended that we intensify fasting in this blessed month. It is as well one of the 'sacred months'. This month was selected by the Sahabah from the time of Umar (RA) to be the 1st month in the Hijri (Islamic) calendar.
3/ This month has so many virtues. One of the virtues is the fasting of Aashoorah (10th Muharram), a fasting that the Noble Prophet (SAW) informed us that it cleanses the sins of the past year. Prophet Musa (Moses) (AS) has fasted this day of 10th, thanking Allah for rescuing
4/ him from Pharaoh by sinking the latter in the sea. Thus, Prophet Moses fasted this day, thanking Allah (SWT). After Moses, the Jews have also fasted this day. However, when our Noble Prophet (SAW) arrived Madinah upon his migration, he saw the Jews fasting the day & he asked:
5/ "What is this fasting for?" They said, " It is a day Allaah Has strengthened Moses & his followers & humiliates Pharaoh & his followers. Moses (AS) has fasted it, so we are also fasting it."

The Prophet (SAW) then said:

"We (Muslims) are more entitled to Moses than you".
6/ And therefore, the Prophet (SAW) fasted that day & ordered Muslims to fast it too. Thus, fasting this day became a highly recommended Sunnah.

However, the Prophet (SAW) intends that we oppose the Jews in their forms of worship, so he ordered us to fast a day before it,
7/ that is on the 9th. In another narration, "a day after it", on the 11th. However, fasting on 9th is more established. Therefore, fasting this day (10th) on the 9th is a Sunnah of the Prophets of Allah Moses & Muhammad (Peace be upon them both).
8/ May Allah accept from us.

May Allah wipe out all our sins and make us among the best Muslims.

Please listen, read & share.
