That's a year that has gone by from your life that will never come back." A new Hijri year has begun. Ustadh AbdulRahman Hassan reflects on the virtues of Muharram, the only month Allah ﷻ attributed to Himself in the words Shahrullah al-Muharram (The Month of Allah), and the massive significance of the Day of Ashura. 📌 In this special release, you will learn: • Why Only Muharram Is "The Month of Allah": Imam al-Suyuti explains that Muharram is the only month whose name was given by Islam itself. Every other month, including Ramadan, carried its pre-Islamic name, making Muharram a uniquely Shar'i month. • The Best Fasting After Ramadan: The Prophet ﷺ said the best fasting after Ramadan is in Shahrullah al-Muharram. Learn the scholarly views on whether to fast the whole month or the majority of it. • The Story of Ashura: When the Prophet ﷺ arrived in Madinah and found the Jewish tribes fasting the 10th of Muharram to celebrate Allah saving Musa (AS) from Pharaoh, he said: "I am more deserving of Musa than you." • The Reward For Fasting Ashura: Fasting this day expiates the sins of the previous year. Ustadh covers the three scholarly views on whether this includes major sins, minor sins, or both. • Why Fast the 9th As Well? The Prophet ﷺ intended to fast the 9th to go against the practice of the Jews and to protect the fast from moon-sighting errors. • The Origins of the Hijri Calendar: Who decided Muharram would be the first month of the Islamic year? ⏳ Your Life Is Going By: Every month that passes is your life passing. On the Day of Judgement, you will be asked how you spent your youth and your time. This lecture is a powerful reminder to seize Muharram, prepare for Ashura, and reflect on the years slipping by. 🔔 Subscribe to The Islamic Daily for more beneficial reminders!
