so one is encouraged to commit xro to do extra good deeds as much as possible during these four
months particularly the month of Muharram and among is the best deeds is fasting and
as a matter of fact it has been reported in the southern hadith that the prophet sallallaahu Lisa
lemon said the best fasting after the month of Ramadhan is fasting during the month of Allah or
a last month the month of Muharram so violently fasting during the month of Muharram is highly
encouraged particularly on the 10th of Muharram the 10th of Muharram marks a great event when the
Prophet SAW Allah Allah salem entered and medina as the hadith is narrated by the great companion
abu lahab best may allah be pleased with him and his father he said that the prophet sallallaahu
lizallen not is that Bene Israel were fasting on the 10th of Muharram he inquired about it they
say that is a day in which Allah save Benny Israel from the Pharaoh and he drowned the Pharaoh so we
are celebrating the day moose has celebrated the day by thanking Allah and he fasted on the day so
we too fast on the day I'd let the prophet sallallaahu alayhi assalam i said 'no no I
hope will be Musa on a map we have known we have more rights to Musa al-salaam than them then the
children of Israel so he commanded his companions to fast on the 10th of Muharram the Day of Ashura
and it was obligatory in the beginning and the 4th of Salah wasallam said a great verses and a
great word for those who are fast even afterward it became voluntary he encouraged us to observe
fasting on the day as he said so lala haria salam so you are sure the 10th of muharram fasting on
the 10th of Muharram after SIBO a la la i hope that allah subhanaw taala will give the word of
fasting on the day an ex appear hold the sins of the past year kuffara an expiation for the sins
what kind of sins the minor sins because the major sins would not be forgiven automatically
what I do to attend them Friday prior or fasting during Ramadan or perform a number after Ambra
these are all good deeds they would automatically wipe away and remove the minor sins but the major
sins were the person who's indulged in them or in any of them require an independent Alba and
a commitment that the person would not redo that sin once again so imagine if we ensure a lot in
a few days in eight days from today will be the 10th of muharram if we get too fast on the day
imagine having all the sins of the past year been taking care of those who are lucky to perform hajj
their sins had been forgiven as well those who are lucky to fast on the ninth day of the month
of dhul hijjah if you do not perform in Hajj they were very lucky because they have the sins of the
past year and a year to come were forgiven as well Allah the Almighty is the most generous he
is oft-forgiving and the most merciful so he knows our shortcomings and weaknesses that's why allah
subhanaw taala is given us every once-in-a-while throughout the entire year chances after chances
and opportunity to be seized in order to be forgiven and the marks the the vast mercy
and forgiveness of allah subhanaw taala then if one does not see these opportunities he is
indeed a big loser by just fasting on the 10th of Muharram allah subhanaw taala will forgive
the sins of the past year up the life now best may allah be pleased with him narrated that the
prophet sallallaahu salem he said i never saw the prophet sallallaahu alayhi salam so keen
to face on any day other than the ninth day of the tenth day of the month of Muharram o cheese
a schwa this hadith is predicted by imam muda hari I'll continue talking about what's most a
habit we recommended during the month of Muharram and the etiquette or the Sunnah with regards to
fasten on the 10th of Muharram as far as the fact that some of the Companions said to the prophet
sallallaahu alayhi assalam that the 9th the tenth day of the month of Muharram was also very trated
by the children of israel because of the event of saving them from the Pharaoh and drown in the fell
so wouldn't that be consider like copying them fasting on the same day the prophet sallallaahu
alayhi salam essayed because he did not want to do anything similar to al khattab or to non-muslims
even with the rest today i buy that or the various acts of worship he said if I left to see the next
year I shall fast or we shall fast on the 9th as well so he intended to fast a day before the Day
of Ashura so this way would be different in our practices then the children fishermen but the
prophet sallallaahu alayhi Salam it so happened that he died before reaching the day so it is a
Sunnah to fast a day before the 10th of Muharram I said the 9th if one fails to fast on the 9th then
perhaps the tenth if one happened too fast the the ninth the tenth and the eleventh that would be the
best so the least is the fast only on the tenth or a higher level to fast a day before along with a
schwa or a day after along with eshwara along with the tenth and the best of the best is to fast the
three days altogether the ninth the tenth and the eleventh may Allah subhana WA Ta'ala accept
