Yaser Birjas – Fasting On 10Th Of Muharram

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.
