Aashooraa is the tenth day of

Al-Shaafa'i and his companions, Ahmad, Ishaaq and
others said: It is
mustahabb to fast on both the ninth and tenth days,
because the Prophet
(Sal) fasted on the tenth, and intended to fast on
the ninth.
On this basis it may be said that there are varying
degrees of fasting
Aashooraa, the least of which is to fast only on
the tenth and the best of
which is to fast the ninth as well. The more one
fasts in Muharram, the
better it is.
Muharram on 31.1.06.?
9-2-06.should be the 10th ?

THE VIRTUES OF ALLAHS SACRED MONTH OF MUHARRAM AND
FASTING ON AASHOORAA
Praise be to Allaah,
the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings be
upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets
and Chief of the Messengers, and upon all his family
and companions.
Allahs sacred month of Muharram is a blessed and
important month. It is the first month of the Hijri
calendar and is one of the four sacred months
concerning which Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve
months (in a year), so it was ordained by Allaah on
the Day when He created the heavens and the earth;
of
them, four are sacred. That is the right religion,
so
wrong not yourselves therein
[al-Tawbah 9:36]
Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: The year is twelve months of which
four are sacred, the three consecutive months of
Dhul-Qadah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab
Mudar which comes between Jumaada and Shabaan.
(Reported by al-Bukhaari, 2958).
Muharram is so called because it is a sacred
(muharram) month and to confirm its sanctity.
Allaahs words (interpretation of the meaning): so
wrong not yourselves therein
mean do not wrong
yourselves in these sacred months, because sin in
these months is worse than in other months.
It was reported that Ibn Abbaas said that this
phrase
(so wrong not yourselves therein
) referred to all
the
months, then these four were singled out and made
sacred, so that sin in these months is more serious
and good deeds bring a greater reward.
Qutaadah said concerning this phrase (so wrong not
yourselves therein
) that wrongdoing during the
sacred
months is more serious and more sinful that
wrongdoing
at any other time. Wrongdoing at any time is a
serious
matter, but Allaah gives more weight to whichever of
His commands He will. Allaah has chosen certain ones
of His creation. He has chosen from among the angels
Messengers and from among mankind Messengers. He
chose
from among speech the remembrance of Him (dhikr). He
chose from among the earth the mosques, from among
the
months Ramadaan and the sacred months, from among
the
days Friday and from among the nights Laylat
al-Qadr,
so venerate that which Allaah has told us to
venerate.
People of understanding and wisdom venerate the
things
that Allaah has told us to venerate. (Summarized
from
the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on
him. Tafseer of Surat al-Tawbah, aayah 36).
