So today is the 8th of Al Muharram,
ajimam.
Today is the 8th of the Muharram. What
does that mean?
What is so special about that?
Tomorrow is 9th. Tomorrow is 9th. Very good.
So so what does that mean?
Well, in Hadith,
Hayd Katad Radiallahu
Alaihi Wasallam,
he,
he was asked about the virtue of fasting
10th of Al Muharram.
That the day we called Ashura, 3 10th.
So the prophet was asked about the virtue
of fasting on Ashura, 10th of Al Muharram.
Fakal sallallahu sallam, you kept your sun at
al Madia.
Fasting that day
will expedite the sins committed in the previous
year.
Don't tell me, mashaAllah, your past year was
awesome.
Because if you are, you'll be in jinn
already. You must be an angel, mashaAllah.
We have our own shortcomings,
our mistakes, our faults, our errors, our regrets
at least.
Things that we'd like to not to see
on the day of judgment, we want them
to see we want to see them to
being wiped out completely from our record.
And subhanAllah, the fasting of one day, which
is Ashura, that's gonna be Tuesday, insha'Allah,
is equivalent to that.
I haven't seen the prophet
so eager
of maintaining the fasting of a special day.
Besides the month of Ramadan, he says,
like an Ashraf Muharram. The day he was,
he would do it salawatulaywassawoon.
Haydun salbuqarim.
Also, it was reported the prophet
in Mecca.
He saw the people of Mecca,
observing the fast on that day, and he
was fasting with them.
Prophet that's from the legacy of Ibrahim alayhi
wasalam
or before that.
Then when the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasalam, he
moved to Medina, when Magat to Medina,
he also saw the Jewish community fasting that
day.
And you know that they also follow that,
the Lord's calendar like we do. So the
Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam inquired about
This is the day when Allah
gave victory and saved Musa from Firaun, from
the pharaoh.
And the prophet says, you
know,
I have more right in Musa than you.
So he ordered the people to fast today,
and he himself, salallahu alaihi wa sama, was
planning to fast that day as well too.
So he made an obligation. But then he
said,
If Allah
give me life until next year,
I will fast the 9th
10th.
So he would differentiate himself from the fasting
of the people of the book in Madinah.
So he said I will fast the 9th
10th.
But then through the year or that during
that year, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala revealed the
obligation of the fasting of the month of
Ramadan.
So when Ramadan became obligatory,
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, the prophet, he removed
the obligation
of fasting the the,
the 10th of Ashura,
and he made it,
optional
or as a recommendation.
Still, the virtues is there. Meaning, if you
fast the day of Ashura,
you will get, inshallah,
the reward, the experience of a situation of
the sins of 1 year.
Now what kind of sins are we talking
about? What kind of sin are we talking
about? We talk about the minor sins.
Major sins require specific tawba.
Okay.
Does that also include premeditated
sins since I still have 2 more days,
inshallah, tala bismillah?
Alright? Let me plan a few crimes. And
then I will say, how fast? Tuesday will
be fine inshallah. Does that work? Is it
my like this?
That's just
They're ridiculed in faith. They're ridiculed in trying
to fool Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
You can do this. But we're talking about
innocent mistakes, faults, and errors that you didn't
really have an intention. Or maybe sometimes, yeah.
What intention? I did something wrong, but I'm
regretful.
I don't feel I don't feel good about
what I've done.
So those are the type of sins that
fasting that they're like Ashura. Allah
will expect the sins that protect that they've
committed. But once again, if there was a
major sin or sins that is, involving the
right and the hukuk of other people, then
you owe it to them before anything else.
You need to amend those situation with them.
Ask Allah
then to forgive you for those mistakes and
those errors and those sins. So the days,
inshallah, to the upcoming day, Monday Tuesday. So
tomorrow is 9th
and Tuesday is 10th.
If you can fast both days,
And don't tell me you cannot do Jema'ah.
2 days.
You can
But if you say, well, tomorrow, I don't
know, man. Tomorrow, I have exam. I have
this or whatever that is. Do not miss
the opportunity of fasting on Tuesday.
And if you do, I hope that you
guys, you're all well doing
Make sure to encourage your family members. Encourage
your spouse, your children to fast with you,
and have a beautiful Ramadan like iftar.
And I'm no. I'm sure that the guys
are gonna say, okay, alhamdulillah. That means we're
gonna have all the goodies of Ramadan right
now. The samusas and then the gulab jam
and and the biryani and easy as jama'.
It's not really about feasting after fasting.
It's about just, you know, worshiping Allah subhanahu
that day and being grateful for the blessing
and the niam that we do. So make
sure to do that. And also if you
would like to make it insha'Allah
as a as a family thing, invite your
neighbors, other people. Remember those maybe in the
community, their family are traveling maybe or single
brothers or single even, mothers and so on.
Invite them over. Join and shout together with
the with the goodness of that day of
Ben Nelayah Zozel. Last thing,
is there any connection or any correlation for
us when it comes to fasting 10th of
Ashura
with the, the murder of Al Hussein
ibn Ali
The answer is absolutely not.
It always happened that the death of Al
Hussein radhiallahu ta'ala
happened on that day. Definitely,
it's a it's a sad
part and dark spot in our history as
an ummah,
unfortunately, that the the grandson of the Prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
being murdered in a political strife that was
happened in the ummah, in the community.
But our fasting
has nothing to do with that. And when
we fast, we don't fast out of grief
or out of,
any aza or anything like that. No. We're
fasting it because the prophet
did. He recommend that we do that, and
there is so much reward in doing it.
So please do so and keep that in
your mind.
