We all know that Ramadan is a month in which it is obligatory to fast; we are penalized if we do not fast it, and rewarded if we do.
Almighty Allah said: "You who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may (learn) self-restraint."(Qur'an 2:183)
Six days in Shawwal ( the month after Ramadan); the Prophet (peace be on him) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadan, then follows it up with six days in Shawwal, it is as if he fasted the whole (year).” (Muslim)
The scholars said that the reward of the good deeds are multiplied by ten. 30x 10= 300+ [6 days x 10]= 360 which is slightly longer than a lunar year, and next Ramadan he will fast again so it is as if he fasted his whole life.
Fasting the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah and the day of ‘Arafah (the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah) (for those who are not performing Hajj); the Prophet (peace be on him) said: “Fasting on the day of ‘Arafah expiates two years of sins last year’s and next year’s and fasting on the tenth of Muharram (‘Ashura) expiates the previous year’s (of sins).” (Muslim and others)
Fasting Monday and Thursday. The Prophet (peace be on him) mentioned that: “The deeds of the worshippers are presented before Allah on Monday and Thursday, I like my deeds to be presented while I am fasting.” (Nasa’I)
Ashura
Fasting on the day of ‘Ashura, and its fasting is not mandatory on you, and I am fasting, so whoever wants should fast, and whoever wants should break his fast.” (Agreed upon).
And he (peace be on him) said: “If I live till the next year, I will fast definitely on the 9th ( the day before “Ashura).” (Muslim)
(This shows that it is preferable to fast an extra day long with the tenth, preferably the ninth, but, if not possible, then the 11th).
I can answer that.

ReplyDeletedont forget to post if it is sunnah to wear kajal. (dont forget to figure out how ur going to remember the pictures in 10 years, u asked me to post this so u dont forget or something)

Dear anonymous, god lets bad things happen to test us. when he put you in a car crash, it was probably to test your faith in him. or he could've been saving you from something much more terrible. for example, my teacher was in a hurry to go somewhere, and for some reason, things were delaying her from getting in teh car; her children taking their time getting ready etc. but when she finally did get out on the road, she found out that there was a car crash. and that if she had gone even a few minutes earlier, she would've been involved in the crash. god works in mysterious ways, but we need to put our faith in him, and accept whatever he sends down upon us. he is the all- knowing and wise.
ReplyDeleteTo the Anonymous who has the question of why God puts Muslims through hardships:
ReplyDeleteThe other Anonymous had an excellent answer, and made the points that I was planning to make: God TESTS US. Think about the prophets, peace be upon them. They were put through SUCH HARDSHIPS, but they were great people and believers, were they not?
So dont let this crumble and corrupt your faith. God is testing you. And, after discussing with a reliable person, this person was telling me that sometimes, the stronger a person's faith is, the more they are tested, to see how strong their faith is.
May All Muslims Keep and Maintain Their Faith.
Iman(Faith) is Beautiful.
