00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			The second place where the Quran refers
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			to
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			the first sentence of the is
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			in Surah Al Hajj,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			chapter number 22,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10
			Verse number 28. Allah
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			says
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			that they witness
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			the benefits which have been provided,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:18
			and they celebrate
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			the name of Allah through
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			the days appointed.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			Here,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27
			these days are referring to the 1st 10
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			days of the lijjah.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			And ibn Hajar
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32
			alaskalani,
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			May Allah have mercy on him. He writes
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:36
			in Futulbari
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:40
			that these first 10 days of Dhul Ijja
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			are the only 10 days in the full
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			year
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			where any Muslim
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			can simultaneously
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			perform
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50
			all the 5 pillars, all the 5 harayd
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:50
			of Islam
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			if he wants to. Yes.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			He can
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			implement on the tawhid.
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			He can offer salah.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			Some at least together in the 1st 10
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			days. He can give zakat if he hasn't
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:04
			given. If you're obligated to charity or give
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			extra charity,
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:05
			he
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			can fast
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:11
			and he can also perform Hajj. These are
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			the only days in the full year where
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			a person can simultaneously
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			perform
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			all the 5 pillars of Islam. It is
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			mentioned
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			in Sayyid Bukhari.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			World number 2, hadith number 969.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			May Allah be pleased with him. He said
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:31
			that the beloved prophet Musallam said,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			there are no good deeds
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			done on any other days
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:37
			better
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			than done
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:40
			during
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			the first 10 days of dulija than during
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			these days.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			And
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			the sahabas,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			the companions, they asked,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			not even jihad? And the prophet replied, not
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			even jihad. Unless
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			a person
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			puts in danger
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			his life and wealth in the way of
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			Allah
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			and does not return with any. That means
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			he goes for jihad and he's martyred in
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			the way of Allah
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			That means our beloved prophet Musaallahu alaihi wa
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			sallam said, the good deeds done during the
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			1st 10 days of the lija better than
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			any deed done on any other days of
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			the year, including
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:19
			jihad, unless
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			if the person is martyred and he loses
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			his wealth and life
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			during jihad. That's the only one
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:27
			good deed
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			which cannot be better. Otherwise,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			the deed done
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			on the first end of the lija are
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			better than any deed done on any other
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			day of the year.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			It is so important.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			And, unfortunately,
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			this sunnah of doing good deeds
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			during the first tender of dulija is forgotten.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			It's further mentioned
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			in Sahih Muslim.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:55
			Point number 3, hadith number
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			2747.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:59
			When the prophet asked
		
00:02:59 --> 00:02:59
			regarding
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:00
			fasting
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			on Yom al Arafah.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:05
			The prophet said, it expiates
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			the sins of the previous year and the
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			coming year.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:10
			That means
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:13
			the most important fast
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			after the further fast of Ramadan is fasting
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:18
			on normal RFI. It expedites
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:21
			your sins of the previous year as well
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			as the coming year.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			There are some scholars who say that
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			the fasting
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			of Ashura,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:32
			10th of Muram, is the most important because
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:34
			of the hadith that the most important fast
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:36
			after the Fardwat is the fasting
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			on Yomura Sura.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			But the different opinion but the correct opinion
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			is that Yomura fasting
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			is fast superior because it expedites the sins
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			of the previous year and the following year,
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:49
			whereas
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:51
			fasting on Ashura
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			expedites only the sin of the previous year.
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56
			But there's unanimous agreement that these two fasts
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			of yawmal alafa
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:59
			and fasting
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			on Ashura are the 2 most important fasts
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			after
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			the fasting of the month of Ramadan.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			It's mentioned
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			in Sunan Abu Dawood,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:11
			1 number 3, hadith number 2437,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			that one of the wives of the prophet
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:15
			said
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			that
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			the messenger of Allah fasted
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:22
			during the first 9 days of dulillija
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			and during Ashura
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:27
			and 3 days every month, the 1st Monday
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:28
			2 Thursdays.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			So So from this hadith, we come to
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			know that the prophet fasted the first 9
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35
			days of the ludra.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			That means it is highly recommended
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41
			to fast on all the first 9 days
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:42
			of the riksha.
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			One may ask, why not fast all the
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			10 days of the riksha?
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:49
			The answer is given
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			in Sahibuhari,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:55
			1 room 3, hadith number 1991
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			where the beloved prophet said
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			that he forbid
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			fasting on
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			These are the 2 ids of celebration
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			of eating and drinking. So it is prohibited
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			to fast on the 2
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			idul fitar and idul adha. That's the reason
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			we don't have to fast the first 10
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			days
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:18
			of the religion. Though the first 10 days
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20
			are the most important days of the year,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:22
			we only file during the 1st 9 days
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			of Dhulija. It further mentioned
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			inside Muslim,
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			volume number 3, hadith number
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			26
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			79. The beloved prophet said
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:36
			that no one shall enter paradise
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:37
			except a believer.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:41
			And the days of mina are the days
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:44
			of eating and drinking. That means a Muslim
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46
			should not even fast on
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:47
			a.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			The 3 days following
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			the.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:52
			That is the 11th,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:53
			12th,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			and 13th
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:55
			of
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:58
			because these are the days of eating and
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:01
			drinking and feasting. So besides the Eid,
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			a Muslim should not even fast on
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			the that is 11th, 12th, and 13th of
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:09
			the rija.
