Nadim Bashir – The Inevitable Journey #09

			Was someone that also named Mohammed while early he was a big mine was sitting with this mnemonic
Athena cathedral, my boss Subhanak Rosmah in in Lima, Hakim, rubbish Shalini so that he was silly.
Only one of them is any of Coco, Liam about. So as I mentioned, that Shala today's talk, we are
taking sort of a detour, going in a different direction little today and show us next week again,
we'll come back to the subject of piano. But I want to take this opportunity as a reminder for all
of us about what exactly is the month of Muharram?
		

			What is what exactly is the month of Muharram? And what are the things that we have to do and what
historical significance does it have? The very first thing is that in the Quran, Allah subhanho wa
Taala and Surah. Bara are so Toba, Allah says that he has created 12 months in detail show who they
are in the law he's now I shall Russia Iran fie kita Billa Yamaha customer where it will all the
minhang are brought in Haram. But amongst these 12 months, there are four that are sacred, and
amongst the Federation amongst the the time or during the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam. These were the times when fighting was not allowed. And these are the months of
		

			the Nakada the Hijjah Muharram and Raja de cada the hija Maha ROM. So these three are consecutive.
And then there is then there is Raja. So this is something that we find in the hadith of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In this same idea, Allah subhanho wa Taala says Danika Dino Iam fella
totally movie Hidden for a second that do not inflict or do not do volume upon yourselves. Now the
problem I have discussed is that what exactly does that mean when Allah says do not do a volume, and
do not oppress yourselves? Some say that this is in reference that you should not fight so when you
fight and when you take other people's lives you are doing upon others. And in essence, you're doing
		

			bull upon yourself in a battle the Allahu anhu, he says, and once again, he was a very learned
sahabi, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said that, in his opinion, this is in reference
to the fact that sins that are committed in these four months are greater than the sins committed in
the other eight months, and the rewards or the good deeds that are performed in these four months,
they are better than the deeds are performed, and the other eight months, and the same thing, or the
same sentiment has been echoed by Qatada in some other Allamah. Now where exactly did this come from
that the first month of the year is the month of Muharram. The during during the time of Ramadan,
		

			photography, Allah tonight, and he wants sat down with a Sahaba. And he discussed that what should
be the very first month of the Islamic year. Now one thing I do want to mention here, I'm gonna go
on a tangent over here and mentioned this, that if you study Islamic history, especially the seed of
the Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi, wa sallam, and even the time of obika, Viola at that time, you will
see that the dates of many events have many opinions, for example, so in that Raj, there are many
opinions as to exactly when did it start in Mirage take place, even during even the other events
that took place in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, there is much differences of
		

			opinion regarding them because there was no system. There was no system in Islam, to determine that
this has happened in this year and this happened in this year. This is why during the time of the
Prophet sallallahu, it was said no more if you remember, in the CEDAW, there is something called the
arm will feel. You may you may remember, there's a year called I will feel, I will feel was the year
when Abraha came with the intention of destroying the Kaaba. So long time ago, before Islam before
the Islamic calendar came into existence, they will remember years based on certain events, like
this is the year of the year of the elephants. This is the year this took place. This is the year
		

			they that this took place. And whenever they would refer back to history, they would refer to those
names that this that I'm referring to the year when this incident took place. And everyone knew
exactly what incident took place when but when on what even know how powerful the alotta on whose
time came and he became the Khalifa he saw that Islam was spreading far and wide, and they need to
have a systematic order or they need to have a calendar in place. That is when he got the Sahaba
together and he asked them that in your opinion, what should be the very first month of the Islamic
calendar. Now of course the Sahaba gave their own opinions, some said haram some said Ramadan, some
		

			said that hijab and many people they give their own opinion and they gave their explanation behind
that opinion. Eventually what was decided was that they would they would declare Muharram as the
very first month of the year because was written in some books is that almost even a hataoka The
alotta on who said
		

			When people go for Hajj they go for hygiene the month of the hijab. And when they come back
appointed the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam where he says that
		

			when he says that
		

			I don't remember the exact wording of the Hadith, but he says that whoever goes for for hedge fund
I'm your fourth wollam You have sock Raja aka Yeoman, Willa to own more the Prophet alayhi salam
says that anyone who goes for hajj and they don't engage in any Raafat, or any forsook or any Judah
or anything of that type, Raja I can Yamuna Allah that to owe more than they will return back as if
they are a brand or you know, they're a you know, a newborn child meaning that they are absolutely
sinless. No, no minor sins no major sins are in the Book of Records, they are as if they have just
come into this dunya and almond ricotta, have said that when people come from hudge, they need a new
		

			beginning, this is a fresh start for all of them. And therefore, the next month after the hijab is
the month of Muharram. So therefore Muharram will be the very first month of the Islamic lunar
calendar. Now what about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? Interestingly enough, many of us
we have come to learn that, that this facet of Ashura actually came into existence after the Prophet
SAW Selim when he went to Medina, but even 100 Allah Allah Allah, Allah, Allah Allah He was a famous
Muhaddith he mentions that there is a Hadith of Aisha of the Allah Tala on her, a sahih Hadith
wherein she says that in the times of Jai Helia people were fasting on the day of ashram. In fact,
		

			there are some records that even the Prophet saw some he would fast on the day that I should all
while he was even in Macau. However, there are two different Hadith and probably some that we find.
The one Hadith says that when the Pavarotti ism came to Medina, he saw the Jews fasting, he asked
him, Why are you fasting they said, that this is the day that Musa Allah in the sun was saved. This
is the day Allah destroyed for Darwin and Musala ism. He fasted on that on that day, as a way to
showing as a way to show his gratitude to Allah subhanho wa taala. And we are simply following the
footsteps of Musa alayhis salam to which was was a Allahu alayhi wa sallam he says, I have to be
		

			Musa min confer Sama, who am Robusta. Yami in Buhari has mentioned that not only that the province
is something he fast, but he also said that we are more closer than to Musa adding Islam than you
and therefore he did order the Muslims too fast. Now, according to another Hadith that is mentioned,
it says that when the Prophet alayhi salam came to Medina, he saw that on the 10th of Muharram, the
Jews were not fasting, but rather they were having a festival. They were having a festival. And this
the Prophet alayhi salam asked the what is the need, or what is the reason behind this festival,
they gave the same reason that this is the day that Mussolini son was saved and so forth. And then
		

			the Prophet SAW Allahu Allah, he was setting them according to exhibit 100. He says that the Prophet
alayhi salam wanted to be different from the Jews and therefore he ordered the Muslims that on this
day we will fast and in fact before the Fabia before the obligation of the fasting of Ramadan came
that fasting on the day of Asha was mandatory, when when the month when the fasting of Ramadan came
into existence, and it became further upon everyone, then this fasting of the day of our shoot, date
was was, was no longer was no longer there. In fact, it was abrogated, but then later on, it was
made still a sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. Now, historically, also speaking, we
		

			do know and once again we don't fast and we make this very, very clear, we fast on the day or on the
10th of Muharram. And we fast on the day One day before one day after it because this is what was
was Allahu Allah, He was someone has told us to do, but some people they believe that we need to
fast because in the 61st, year after Hegira,
		

			the the massacre of Hussein Ibn IV Ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib to place it was the massacre of Karbala. It
is a very long history there in the people who took the life of the grandson of a Suazo Allahu it
was senemo certainly these people are going to be held accountable on the day of judgment before
Allah subhanho wa taala. By the same time if anyone is under the impression that we fast on this day
because of this, that is not true. We fast because Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he told
us too fast. Now this is the only month where in Allah subhanho wa Taala we refer to this month as
his month in the Hadith Narrated by Abu Huraira the Allah and the Prophet alayhi salam says of
		

			Volusia me by the Ramadan as
		

			Shall Allah in Muharram that the that the best fasting offered on Lavon is the fasting of the month
of Muharram. Now, here's some there's something here interesting, interestingly enough to know that
we do know that there's another Hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, wherein we know
that the that the month in which Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would fast the most after
Ramadan was which one? Show one. Okay, which one was it? I mean, Shaba Shaba Shaba Shaba was the
month where in the Prophet alayhi salam, he will fast the most after Ramadan. However, Imam nawawi
Rahmatullah Ali. He says, that probably this hadith was mentioned and when the virtues of this month
		

			came to the swasta Allahu alayhi wa sallam, perhaps a came at the end of the life of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the fact that Allah the Prophet sallahu wa salam referred to he said,
that this is the month of Allah subhanho wa taala. And it is the best fast some of the owners say
that it is very possible that the Prophet SAW Selim, he wanted to fast more in this month, that he
was fast in Shaba. But the Allamah they say that perhaps this this hadith was mentioned. Just few
months before the Prophet saw some he passed away and therefore we do know so to still till today,
that the month where any facet the most, after the mantra Bhavana was the month of Shabbat. Now the
		

			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he did talk about this day, he says Siyam Yo Ma Shula that he
said that the day of the fasting of the day of Ashura in the after Cebu and Allah that I hope that
Allah subhanho wa Taala honor, and you can feel certain that the Avila that Allah subhanho wa Taala
will accept it as an explanation for the year that was in the past. So the reward of fasting on the
day of Ashura is the forgiveness of one year of the or the sins that were committed in the previous
year. If you remember, the day of alpha, what was the day of alpha the reward for the day of Ottawa,
		

			one year before one day, one year after, okay, one year before one year after, and then this is,
this is one year before and now there's a hadith that was also Allahu Allah he was setting them that
in Sahih Muslim we're in he says that if I am alive next year, this is part of a longer Hadith, but
he says if I'm alive next year, then I will fast on the ninth and I will fight on the 10th and these
two days are called Das who are that's who and I shoot all the you will find these in the books.
That one is the ninth of the ninth of Muharram and then the 10th of Muharram. And this is why the
Allamah they will say that because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he mentioned the ninth in
		

			particular that's why it is better to focus on the ninth and the 10th however, there is a another
Hadith found in Sahih Zima and this is also a an authentic hadith where in the work, excuse me,
wearing the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that fast one day before it or one day after
it, so there are more a hadith wherein he mentioned the knife. But there is also a hadith where you
mentioned the one day before a one day after, and their alma have said that there is no harm in
fasting one day before one day after, because we because at the end day, this opposes the practices
of the Jews. And so this is what the Prophet sallallahu ala he was sending him he mentioned. In
		

			fact, I also found that even 100 Allah's Fulani, Muhammad, Allah YALI, once again, a very famous
Muhaddith he says that, according to him, the best fast is too fast on the ninth, the 10th and the
11th. This is his own personal opinion, this is not a hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, but this is his own personal opinion. Now the next thing that is generally discussed is that
can a person fast let's just say a person has many facets of the mantra Marwan he has not completed
them, or she has not made them up yet can they fast on the day of Ashura, then the fulcrum behind
that is there is a difference of opinion, the most email humbler from Deloitte Ali, he says it is
		

			forbidden, it is forbidden for a person to fast on the 10th of Muharram. If there are so some
pending fast from the month of Ramadan, the most flexible opinion is the opinion of Jambo Hanifa he
says it is absolutely permissible because Allah subhanaw taala has given permission to us to make it
up and we can make it up at any time. But when these kinds of days they come and they have some
special significance to those days, then there is no harm in fasting on these days even if you have
not completed your fasting of the month of Ramadan. Now one last thing I do want to mention is that
there are some some differences of opinion regarding some prac
		

			This is that take place that take place now. For example, there's one Hadith narrated by Ali
Northey, Allah Tala and we're in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says that if you wish to
fast after the month of Ramadan, then fasten haram for indeed is the month of Allah is in this month
it is a day where Allah subhanho wa Taala he accepts the repentance of a nation and in which he will
accept the repent repentance of other people now, Imam Timothy Rahmatullah Urla. He has declared
this hadith as a hadith Hassan, there are other scholars who say that this is a Hadith of life. Once
again, whenever you study Hadith, I will make this very, very clear because I've heard people saying
		

			this, if one Hadith is the if it is unnecessarily true that every single scholar says that this
hadith this hadith is live, some people they come and they say, this scholar said that it is live.
Well, that's fine. And but if you study history of Hadith, and if you study Hadith in depth, you
will learn that one Hadith can have multiple opinions regarding this. Likewise, there's another
there's another difference difference of opinion regarding a Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, wherein he mentioned that anyone who is open or anyone who spends a lot on their family,
on the day of Ashura, Allah subhanho wa Taala will put baraka and Allah subhanho will give him more
		

			once again, this is also another debatable Hadith. Some say that this is the if some say this is,
this is absolutely fine. Well, Allahu Allah, the scholars have debated about this. But what we do
know as well, we do know for sure, these are debatable matters, matters, but what we do know is that
anyone who does fast on the day of Ashura, Allah will forgive their past your sins. And what we also
do know is that you should try to fast either on the ninth of the 10th, or first on the 10th or the
11th. Now, I do want to share this too, that Schakel Islam ma Miramont, Allah Allah, he has
mentioned he has mentioned and once again, this is not in a hadith, but this is his own personal,
		

			you know, his own flippy opinion, I will say that he says that if anyone fast if anyone fast only on
the 10th of Muharram. Anyone who has only on the 10th of Muharram. First of all is that it is not it
is not preferable, but he said that there is no Kafala either, there is no Farah, but there is no
sin either. It is not preferable because the Prophet SAW Allah some says to oppose them. However,
what we do know is that and wishing for some said in what they mean he said that there is no sin,
but there is no cathedra either if a person does fast only for one day, but at the same time we do
know that it is not preferable so we should try to fast for two days. I asked Allah subhanho wa
		

			Taala to give us the ability to act on has been sent her to me Allah subhana wa Taala give us the
ability to to recognize these times. These are special times that come from Allah subhanho wa Taala
will also give us the ability to recognize them and appreciate these times and take the maximum
benefit from these times are given to us by Allah subhanho wa Taala Dr. Mala Hey Subhanak Allah who
will be handing that should to Allah in the Illa enter their stuff. Look, I want to relate exactly
Malachite, Salam aleykum. I have to live with our country.
