MUHARRAM THE MONTH OF ALLAH

 MUHARRAM THE MONTH OF ALLAH The month of Allah, al-Muharram, is a great and blessed month. It is the first month of the Hiri year and is one of the sacred months. Literally meaning 'forbidden', Muharram is one of the four sacred months (Dhul Haji, Dhul Qa'dah, and Rajab). According to the Islamic teachings, the month of Muharram is so sacred that certain actions become forbidden during it, as they violate its sanctity. You can better understand the significance It is a month when the rewards for good deeds are multiplied; when the Prophet (saw) encouraged voluntary fasts and described it as the 'sacred month of Allah' What does the Quran say about Muharram?  Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are Sacred, (i.e., the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong, not yourselves t...

WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA?

  WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA? WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA  REASON  WHY PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ FASTED THE DAY OF AASHOORAA, IT'S THE GREAT DAY WHEN ALLAH SAVED MOSA عليه السلام AND HIS PEOPLE, AND DROWNED PHARAOH AND HIS PEOPLE. MOSA عليه السلام FASTED ON THIS DAY IN GRATITUDE TO ALLAH SUBHANAWATAALA. SO WE MUST FAST IT OUT OF RESPECT FOR IT. FASTING THE DAY OF 'ASHOORA' EXPIATES SINS FOR THE PAST YEAR. NARRATED BY MUSLIM1162. THE PROPHET MUHAMMADﷺ SAID: "FASTING THE DAY OF "'ASHOORA' I HOPE ALLAAH WILL EXPIATE THEREBY FOR THE YEAR THAT CAME BEFORE IT.” PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ WAS KEEN TO FAST THIS DAY SAHIH BUKHARI 1902 THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ USED TO BE VERY KEEN TO MAKE SURE HE FASTED ON THE DAY OF 'ASHOORA' BECAUSE OF ITS GREAT STATUS. RECOMMENDED TO FAST BOTH 9TH AND 10TH SAHIH MUSLIM 1134 THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF FASTING'ASHOORA', THE LEAST OF WHICH IS TO FAST  THE TENTH ONLY, BUT IT IS BETTER TO FAST THE NINTH AS WELL.

Zina Fornication and Adultery

  Zina In Islam One of the aims of the Islaamic Sharee'ah is to preserve honor and lineage, so Zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) is forbidden Allah The Almighty Says (what means): (And come not near to unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily it is a Faahishah a great sin] and an evil way [that leads to Hell unless Allaah forgives]} [Qur'aan 17:32] The Sharee'ah blocks all the ways and means that could lead to Zina, by enjoining Hijaab (Islamic covering) and lowering the gaze, and by forbidding being alone with a non-Mahram woman, etc.  The married man who commits adultery deserves the worst kind of punishment, which is stoning to death, so that he may taste the results of his deeds and so that every part of his body may suffer just as every part of his body enjoyed the illicit liaison. The fornicator who was previously unmarried is to be punished with the maximum number of lashes mentioned in Sharee'ah, which is one hundred lashes, in addition to the scandal of this punish...
