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 therein" [Surah

At-Tawbah 9:36].

In Katheer (RA), regarding the verse,

explains, "Allah has chosen elites from His

creation: from among the angels He chose

Messengers, from among mankind He chose

Messengers, from among speech He chose

remembrance of Him (dhikr), from among

spaces on earth He chose the mosques, from

among the months He chose Ramadan and the

sacred months. So, venerate that which has

been chosen by Allah, for people of

understanding and wisdom respect that which

has been chosen by Him". (Tafseer Ibn Katheer)
