Happy New Year Muharram Mubarak 1. Narrated from Ibn al-Abbas r.a. that the Prophet s.a.w. said, Whoever fasts the last day of Dhul Hijjah and the first day of Muharram, he completes a whole years worth of fasting in that previous year, and Allah gives him penance for fifty [50] years. 2. Narrated from Anas r.a. that the Prophet s.a.w. said, Whoever fasts the first Friday of Muharram Allah will forgive his preceding sins, and whoever fasts three days of Muharram - Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Allah will write for him worship and prayers for nine hundred [900] years. 3. Narrated from A`ishah Umm al-Muminin r.a. that the Prophet s! .a.w. said, Whoever fasts the first ten days up till Ashura, he will inherit the Paradise al-Firdaus. 4. Fasting of Ashura is Sunnah Mu`akkadah, that which is highly desired. When the Prophet s.a.w. saw the Jews of Madinah fasting on that day, he asked them for what it was. They told him it was the day Musa a.s. led the Bani Isra`il from Pharaoh. The Prophet s.a.w. said, I have more rights with Musa than you . So he fasted that day and ordered for its observance. This was part of a longer narration from A`ishah r.a. 5. The Prophet said, Whoever fasts the Ashura (10th Muharram), Allah will write for him a thousand [1000] wishes and a thousand years of age, and will grant him the reward of a thousand martyrs, and will write for him the reward of Isma`il a.s., and writes for him seventy [70] palaces in paradise, and makes his flesh forbidden from the hellfire. 6. In another Hadith the Prophet s.a.w. said, Whoever fasts the Ashura, he will be granted the reward of a thousand angels. And whoever recites Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad a thousand [1000] times on the day of Ashura, Allah will glance at him with the Eyes of Mercy, and will write him from amongst the Siddiqqin [The Truthful]. 7. In another Hadith the Prophet s.a.w. said, Distinguish yourselves from the Jews by fasting either the day before Ashura or the day after it as well. 8. Whoever prays in Ashura four [4] sunnah rakat on the day of Ashura, where after the Fatihah in each rakah recites Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad eleven [11] times[8], Allah will forgive his sins of fifty years, and will build for him a pulpit from light. And whoever takes the sunnah shower on Ashura he will not suffer sickness in that year except the illness of death, and whoever wears the Kuhl on his eyes on Ashura he will not suffer sickness on that year. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 9. Dua of Ashura: Recite Hasbun Allahu wa nimal wakil, nimal Maula wa niman Nasir [70 x], and recite: Hasbun Allahu mil-al Mizan wa muntaha-l ilma, wa mablaghal rida, wa zinatul arsh, la malja-a wa la manja min Allahi illa ilaihi. Subhan Allahi adada-sh- shaf`i wal arshi, wa adada kalimati Rabbina-t taamma! ti kulliha. As-aluka-s Salamata bi Rahmatika Ya Arham Ar-Rahimin, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil Aliyyil Azhim. Wa huwa hasbii wa nimal wakil, nimal Mawla wa niman Nasir. Wa Sallallahu ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ala alihi wa sahbihi ajmain. [7 x]. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 10. About an hour before the Adhan for Maghrib towards Ashura, sit facing the Qiblah and finish the daily Adab of Tariqah. And then make Tawassul with Sayyidina al-Husayn and the martyrs of Karbala, where on that day they died Shahid with Sayyidina al-Husayn and those who were with him, may Allahs favours be upon them. After breaking your fast dedicate the blessings and rewards of your fast and daily Awrad upon the Prophet s.a.w. for the oceans secrets that lie open on the 14th of Muharram. Birthday of Mawlana Shah Naqshbandi 11. Muharram is also a month of great importance to Naqshbandi. Our Master and Imam of the Tariqah Shah Naqshband q.s. was born on the 14th of this month. It is thus important and most desired that the Ahl of the Tariqah congregate on the eve of this holy day for Khatm and Dhikr, and read the Mawlid al-Nabi s.a.w. in dedication to Mawlana Shah Naqshband, and also reading excerpts from his saintly life. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 12. It is a tradition and practice of Mawlana Sultan al-Awliya Shaykh Abdullah al-Daghistani q.s. to make Qurban of two sheep on the day of Ashura and distribute the meat to the poor and needy to the members of the Tariqah. He also did this on the birthday of Shah Naqshband q.s.
