THE DAY OF AASHORA (10TH MUHARRAM) Although the month of Muharram is a sacred month as a whole, the 10th of Muharram is the most sacred among all its days. The day is named Ashurah. It is one of the most important and blessed days of Allah Ta’ala in the Islamic calendar. FASTING The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) has exhorted and encouraged his Ummah to fast on this day. He said: This fast is a compensation for the (minor) sins of the past year. (Hadith:Muslim) Observe the fast of Aashora and oppose the Jews. Fast a day before it or a day after.(Hadith:Baihaqi) Hence, it is important to either fast on the ninth and the tenth or the tenth and the eleventh of Muharram. To fast only on the day of Aashora is Makrooh(undesirable). BEING GENEROUS One should be generous on ones family and dependants and spend more on them than what is normally spent. Rasulullah (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) said: One who generously spends on his family on the day of Aashora, Allah will increase (his provision) for the whole year. (Hadith:Baihaqi) These are the actions supported by Ahadeeth. Let us observe this great Month according to the ways of Rasulullah (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) and the Sahabah (Radhiyallahu-Anhum), and refrain from all actions which deprive us of the blessings from Almighty Allah. May Allah guide us all upon the Straight Path and save us from every act which brings His displeasure. …Ameen
