2021-08-18 00:15:56 On the Day of Ashura, the Exodus story is described in terms of how God commands Moses to strike the sea with his rod, causing it to split and save the Israelites while drowning the Egyptian army [26:52-68 and 44:17-33]. Pharaoh is urged to repent and seek forgiveness from God. For their lack of gratitude for God’s help, the Israelites are then punished when Moses leaves them in the wilderness for 40 nights. According to 7:142-7, Moses’ 40 days and nights on the mountain comes to an end when finally he receives the Torah, as God’s revelation. The Exodus story demonstrates how God can be present even when he appears to abandon or punish his people. Open / Comment

2021-08-18 00:15:24 Day of Ashura

Ashura is observed on the 10th day of Muharram and it is the most sacred day among all its days.

People attribute the sanctity of this day to the martyrdom of Husain Ibn Ali (R.A.), this sad event in Karbala took place on the day of Ashura as Allah chooses important days for important decisions. 

It marks the day Nuh (Noah) left the Ark and the day Musa (Moses) was saved from the Pharaoh of Egypt by God.

The Prophet Muhammad used to fast on Ashoura in Mecca, where it became a common tradition for the early Muslims. Open / Comment

2021-08-17 16:14:07 The Month of Muharram

Muharram is the 1st month of Islamic Calendar and called ‘The month of Allah’ and Optional (Nafil) fasting during this month is considered the most rewarding after the month of Ramadan. This is evident from the following Sahih Hadith:

"‘The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “The best fasting after the month of Ramadan is the month of Allah, Al-Muharram.”’
(An-Nasai: 1613)

Also, Muharram is one of the four sanctified months of the year. As Allah Says in Quran:
“Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred.”
(Surah At-Taubah: 9:36)

The four months mentioned in the Ayah are the months of Dhul-Qadah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram and Rajab. This is evident from the words of Holy Prophet (PBUH) on the occasion of his last Hajj sermon:
“The year is of twelve months, out of which four months are sacred: Three are in succession Dhul-Qa' da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth is) Rajab.”
