Nadim Bashir – Khatira – Ashura and Fasting on the 10th of Muharram

			On equal to loyal Barakatuh
		

			Mr. Nahum no human 100 Allah who bid on Amin was thought was someone or sorry he Muhammad wa ala
alihi wa sahbihi Jemaine, oh my god. So I want to just quickly go through some a Hadith of the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam and important quotes of our lemma regarding the 10th of Muharram. Because
there are many people who are asking questions, first of all is that because there is a again, we
find ourselves in a situation where, because of different methodologies, for some, they started the
10th of Muharram. And these are the month of Muharram last week on Monday, so, for them this week,
when his day will become the the 10th of Muharram. Epic follows that methodology. So, based on that
		

			our calendar is based on that, so, Wednesday is a 10th of Muharram. And then according to some other
methods, the day of Thursday will be the 10th of Muharram. So, no matter what what method you pick,
and there is no need to make a big deal out of it, you choose one and you go with that, and then
inshallah whatever it is Allah subhanaw taala understands the intention, first of all, is that it
was the nature of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that many people are not aware of this,
that before even the Prophet it is some made hatred to Medina, the prophet it some would fast on the
10th of Muharram. And many books even write that the Quraysh would also fast on the 10th of
		

			Muharram. The Jews in Medina were already fasting on the 10th of Muharram. And when the property is
on migrated, and he saw that they were fasting, and when he inquired the story that we all aware of
their properties, Saddam said that we are more closer to Musa we follow the legacy of Mussolini,
some even more, we read more about him, we are more closer to him. And therefore we are also going
too fast on this date. There are many a hadith for example, the hadith of Ibn Abbas, or the Allah on
Houma, where the prophet said, Allah who it was sent him, he talks about the importance of fasting
on this day. And not only that, but he says that if there was one day that the prodigal son was very
		

			keen on fasting, after the after Ramadan, it was a 10th of Muharram. Because going back to the
history, that Muslims would fast, very religious, very religiously on the 10th of Muharram. But when
fasting in Ramadan became mandated, and it was an obligation from Allah subhanho wa taala, than
fasting on the 10th became a enough of a became an optional fast. So that's why it was a very big
practice. And the Prophet it is son was very keen on that. And not only that, but we also find the
Hadith of the Prophet SAW Salem that he refers to the month of Muharram as sha Allah Hill Muharram
This is the month of Allah subhanho wa Taala there is no other month in the Islamic lunar calendar,
		

			the Allah the Prophet, it is some says that Allah refers to this month as his month, the month of
Muharram is that month. So that's why there is some sacredness there is some virtue to this month.
Now of course fasting on this day. What we learned from our from the Prophet SAW Selim number one is
that he mentioned that if I'm alive next year, I will face an additional day to oppose the practices
of the Jewish community. And the automa have mentioned from this is that you can fast one day before
a one day after, so it will be your first either on Tuesday or Wednesday, or Wednesday and Thursday,
there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And many of them I have also mentioned in fact,
		

			checklist stop Imitate me or Rahmatullah. YALI is also of the opinion that if a person only fasces
on the 10th of Muharram, on the day of Ashura, then there is no explanation there is no penalty
there is no sin. However, he does also mention that this goes against the spirit of the Sunnah of
the Prophet sallallahu sallam, but there is no harm done if that is done. So this is why I'm saying
that if you cannot fast two days that at least pass on that day, but it is better It is awesome to
fast on the ninth and 10th or the 10th or 11 Now also, some people have asked that when it comes to
like a ineffably fast and optional fast, like we find in the nature of the problems Salam, he will
		

			come home he was asked to Aisha Radi Allahu Allah, is there anything to eat? Oh Aisha, she will say
Yara Sula, there is nothing to eat, and this was usually in the afternoon time, and then he will say
that in the saw him I am fasting. So the orlimar have also so people have asked this question that
what if on the 10th of Muharram, on the day of Ashura, can I wait for a roughly fast can I wait all
the way to the time of Zoa and then make my intention and majority of the orlimar they say that
because this is a very specific fast, there is a special reward for fasting on this day. That's why
the intention should be made the night before the attention should be made the night before. Now,
		

			what is the reward too fast on this day, the reward is that the sins of the previous year are
forgiven. That is a reward of this day now very beautifully if you think about it, the for the
fuggle of this OMA over all the other Omers is also highlighted in this virtue, how so think about
it.
		

			When we talk about Ashura, when we talk about the 10th of Muharram, we're talking about Musa alayhis
salam, right Musa you some and but he saw you being saved, this is Musa you some on the other hand
you find the Day of Arafah The Day of Arafah is associated with who the OMA of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam and for the OMA or the problem someone you face on Arafah how many years of sins
forgiven to for the for the day of Muharram only one, it shows that the that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
has given fallen to this OMA over all the other Omers. So this is why this is a day that we should
fast try to make it a point to fast. Now last thing I will say about this is that there are some a
		

			hadith of course about this, some even automat have written that this is the day that where the ship
of no other Islam was able to find refuge in near Mount Judy. And many of them have written other
things about this. In addition to that we find in Albay harpy that a Hadith of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that is without a doubt it is controversial. And not only that, but many
orlimar have written, you know, documents and treatises about this, that whether it is authentic
hadith, it is a live Hadith and so forth. But the hadith is that we find in lb happy that anyone who
gives immense amount of sadaqa or who feeds their family, on the 10th of Muharram. Allah Azza Baraka
		

			in their wealth and Allah Subhana Allah will bless them immensely. Now, of course, as I said, I
don't want to get into all the different reasons why it is considered as the wife or not considered
life, but many other scholars such as ethnicity and and many others such as Ibn Rajab Alhambra
Rahmatullah LA, he has written in his book lotta evil maarif that this was the nature and the
practice of many scholars of the past. And the scholars, they say, they themselves, they say that we
would practice this and we saw the benefits of it. So however you want to take Inshallah, that's up
to you. But this is something that's also mentioned in the, the subject of the 10th of Muharram. So
		

			I just want to quickly just go through these things in sha Allah, I ask Allah subhanho, wa taala, to
whatever we do on that day, make sure you try to focus on that day, try to be with your family also
in sha Allah, and not only that, but share with your family. Why is this day such a blessed day,
teach your children and educate them about this in sha Allah, I ask Allah subhana wa Tada to bless
us with many other blessings. I mean, noble Allah mean, and also I will say that please, whether
it's you know, these days and so forth, please keep our please keep Afghanistan in the situation of
honesty in your day was, of course it's so hurtful, that every single time you turn around, there's
		

			something going on in some Muslim country, it will lie it kills my heart every single time. There's
something that is going on. There is chaos there is going on in every single Muslim country right
now of oneness and the most latest one so please keep them in your DUA. May Allah subhanho wa Taala
bring peace and amen to that land and may Allah subhanho wa Taala drive away the wrong doors I mean,
noble Allah mean desert Kamala Haider Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
