Sisters , do not let these blessed days pass without striving for Allah's forgiveness and reward. Fast, make du'a, increase in dhikr, and share this reminder with your family and friends.
💡Did you know?
When the Prophet ﷺ migrated to Madinah, he found the Jews fasting on the 10th of Muharram. They explained that it was the day Allah saved Prophet Musa (Moses) عليه السلام and the Children of Israel from Pharaoh. Out of gratitude to Allah, Musa عليه السلام fasted on that day.
The Prophet ﷺ then said:
"We have more right to Musa than you."
So he fasted on that day and commanded the Muslims to fast it.
— Sahih al-Bukhari (2004), Sahih Muslim (1130)
✨ The Virtue of Fasting Ashura
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"Fasting the day of Ashura, I hope from Allah that it will expiate the sins of the previous year."
— Sahih Muslim (1162)
SubhanAllah! One day of sincere fasting can be a means for Allah to forgive the minor sins of the previous year.
🔑 How Should We Fast?
The Prophet ﷺ intended to fast an additional day to distinguish the Muslims from the People of the Book. Scholars therefore recommend:
✅ 9th & 10th Muharram (best practice)
or
✅ 10th & 11th Muharram
Based on the statement of the Prophet ﷺ:
"If I remain until next year, I will surely fast the ninth (along with the tenth)."
— Sahih Muslim (1134)
May Allah accept our fasting, forgive our sins, and allow us to follow the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ. Ameen.
