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 10th Muharram’s fast.

“ 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??”
