First month of the Islamic year; the Hijri calendar.

• One of the four sacred months of Islamic year ( Muharram ul Haram,Rajab ul Murjub, Zulqadah & Zilhajjah)
• A very blessed month, in which one should perform more good deeds.
• Remembering and using the Islamic dates is farz –e- Kifaya.
• Considering Muharram as an unlucky month is a misconception.
• Providing a generous meal for one’s family on the day of Ashura warrants abundance and prosperity the year round..However such provision is neither farz nor wajib.
• Observing fast on the day of Ashura is sunnah and Mustahab.Tiding of previous year sins being wiped off is its reward.
• As Jews also fasted on the day of Ashura , So our beloved Prophet (sallal laho alaihe wassalam) advised   that Muslims should add one more fast to the 10^th Muharram’s fast.

Excerpt from the Bayan of Hazrat  Maulana Mufti Abdul Rauf Sakhurvi Sb on 28^th October 2014 at Darul Uloom Karachi.[/notice]

“ The point to ponder here is that ,Am I being careful to avoid resemblance to non- believers in my dressing , my culture or  my life in general??”
