assalamualaikum everybody...
doing great or what haaaaaa?!!! hehehe... k today im serious... im just sharing an important information.... here we go... here's a gentle reminder... its xmas today, Jesus' birthday as the christians say... but they actually don't have a clue if its true or not.. yet everybody knows about it... but let us all do something better... instead of remembering people's birthdays and the holidays, lets pay more attention on the sunnah to be done throughout the islamic calender... its 10 muharram this sunday, 27 december... the prophet pbuh said that whoever fasts on the 10th of muharram will have his sins of the past year forgiven by Allah.. this sunnah came to be when the prophet moved to Medina from Mecca.. he saw the yahudis fast on the 10th muharram... so he asked them why... and they told him that it is a holy day in which Allah helped Moses pbuh and saved him and his companions from pharoah, so they fast on this day... then the prophet said that muslims are more obliged to Moses pbuh and this day than the yahudis because muslims believe in Moses pbuh and his teachings while the yahudis don't... and so the muslims too began fasting on the 10th muharram... and as we all know.. the prophet pbuh is always doing something different compared to all the ahlul kitab to distinguish the difference between muslims and the rest of the ahlul kitab... so one day a sahabat-whom i don't remember his name.. pardon me for not being a hafiz.. i write these at the spur of the moment-pointed out to the prophet pbuh that fasting on the 10th muharram only is what the yahudis do... so the prophet answered:"if i could then i would fast on the 9th" or as he said... meaning that the prophet would fast on the 9th and 10th together just to differentiate between the muslims and yahudis... but the prophet passed away that year and didn't have the chance to fast on these days the following year according to this sahabat... and if we add monday to the list for the monday-thursday sunnah the better... after all.. Muharram is one of the months in which the prophet pbuh fasts in most days... and there are scholars who said that its better to fast on the 9th, 10th and 11th together... and in the case of choosing 2 of the 3 days mentioned, fasting on the 9th and 10th together is better than fasting on the 10th and 11th together... so prove your love to the prophet pbuh like you said you do! its easy to say things but not doing anything to prove what we say... right...? so if you could, fast then.... unless those of you who couldn't do so... PROVE OUR LOVE TO HIM BY PERFORMING THIS SMALL SUNNAH... ONE OF HIS MANY SUNNAH... Allah knows best...
