The Sacred Month of Muharram

Hadith: Arabic Text followed by English Translation. 

عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ

الزَّمَانُ قَدْ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ السَّنَةُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ثَلاثَةٌ مُتَوَالِيَاتٌ ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ وَالْمُحَرَّمُ وَرَجَبُ مُضَرَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ جُمَادَى وَشَعْبَانَ

‏رواه البخاري ٣١٩٧

Abu Bakrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

The division of time has turned to its original form which was current the day Allaah created the heavens and earth. The year consists of twelve months of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab of Mudar which comes between Jumada and Sha’baan.

Ang tanging bagay na nagpapalakas sa atin sa tuwing tayo ay nabibigo ay: Ganap padin ang ating katiyakan na ang lahat ng ito ay nasa kamay ng ALLAH at ang buhay ay magpapatuloy kahit anong mangyari.

‏الشيء الوحيد الذي يجعلنا أقوى كلما انكسرنا هو :اليقين التام بأنَّ الأمر كله بيد الله .. وأنّ الحياة ستمضي مهما حدث

#QuoteOfTheDay (20230210): “Barang siapa menghidupkan sunnahku, berarti dia mencintaiku dan barang siapa mencintaiku, maka dia akan bersamaku di surga.” (At-Tirmidzi: 2602) Hari Jumat, ada beberapa sunnah Rasulullah ﷺ yang khas di hari ini. Mulai dari, mandi Jumat (Al-Bukhari: 846), menggunakan pakaian terbaik dan wewangian (Abu Dawud: 290), bersiwak (An-Nasai: 1366), dan menghidupkan lima sunnah fitrah manusia: berkhitan, mencukur bulu kemaluan, bulu ketiak, kumis dan memotong kuku (Al-Bukhari: 5439). Kemudian membaca surah Al-Kahfi (Darimi: 3273), perbanyak salawat Nabi (Ibnu Majah: 1627), sedekah Jumat (An-Nasai: 1391) serta datang lebih awal ke masjid (Al-Bukhari: 877). Mari kita hidupkan sunnah-sunnah ini dan bukan sebaliknya. “Barang siapa membenci sunnahku maka dia bukanlah dari (golongan)-ku."

[asma-al-husna]

Allah calls Himself Al-Waarith—The Inheritor, the Heir— on one occasion in the Quran. Al-Waarith is the One who remains after the extinction of everyone and everything. He is the only One to whom all will return; He is the sole inheritor and owner of the whole creation!

The Inheritor, The Supreme Heir

Waarith comes from the root waaw-raa-thaa, which points to four main meanings. The first meaning is to inherit. The second main meaning is to be an heir or survivor, and the third is to be the owner or maintainer after one has passed.

This root appears 35 times in the Quran in five derived forms. Examples of these forms are narithu (“we will inherit”), meeraathu (“(the) heritage”), and al waaritheena (” the inheritors”).

Linguistically, waratha refers to the action of inheriting whereas waarith is the one doing the action, the inheritor and al-meeraath is the inheritage. Even though there is the concept of heirs and inheritance of worldly possessions in this world, Al-Waarith is the supreme Heir to whom the heritage of the heavens and earth belongs.

Al-Waarith Himself says: . . . And indeed, it is We who give life and cause death, and We are the Inheritor [Quran, 15:23] …And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allah , with what you do, is [fully] Acquainted. [Quran, 3:180]

Inheritance in the Quran

Al-Waarith says: It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any opinion in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, has indeed strayed into a plain error. [Quran, 33:36] As believers we find guidance regarding the Islamic rulings on inheritance in detail in the Quran. The law of inheritance has been given in the Quran in Surah An-Nisaa, in ayaat 11 and 12 and then in ayah 176 and it is part of faith to refer to these at all times.

How Can You Live By This Name?

1. Know that you will return to Al-Waarith.

Don’t stick to worldly possessions and don’t let them distract you from obedience to the one to whom both your possessions, yourself and your actions, will return. Don’t look for success in wealth and status, big cars and houses, if it compromises your relationship with Allah ‘azza wa jall— even though society pushes through this concept of “success.” Raise your children in putting Al-Waarith first in their actions and remind yourself often that very soon you will return to Him and you won’t be able to take any of your possessions in this world.

2. Say inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raji’oon.

Al-Waarith says: Who, when disaster strikes them, say, Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return. [Quran, 2:156] Say inna lillaahi wa inna lillaahi raji’oon not only when someone passes away, but whenever a disaster or trial hits you, even if it is the loss of an object. Revive the sunnah and use this dhikr in times of loss!

3. Reflect on the ownership of Al-Waarith.

Take a look around you; everything you see– and don’t see— belongs to Allah. He gave you all the possessions you have— your car, your house, your children, your health, and even your time. Al-Waarith says: The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in them belongs to Allah. He has power over all things. [Quran, 5:120] Realize Al-Waarith owns everything, nothing belongs to you, not even your own soul, and praise Him and ask Him for guidance to use your “possessions” to gain His pleasure. When you lose something or someone console yourself with the fact it was Allah’s to begin with.

4. Follow the rulings on inheritance of the Quran and sunnah.

The rulings and laws regarding inheritance in Islam are laid out in the Quran and demonstrated in the sunnah; refer to them in any situation, whether it brings you worldly benefit or not. Some of us follow their own rules of inheritance to gain more financial benefit, this is a grave sin and disobedience to Al-Waarith. So ask Him to guide you to stick to His rulings at all times!

5. Ask Al-Waarith.

The Messenger of Allaah salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to say:

اللَّهُمَّمَتِّعْنِيبِسَمْعِي،وَبَصَرِي،وَاجْعَلْهُمَاالْوَارِثَمِنِّي،وَانْصُرْنِيعَلَىمَنْيَظْلِمُنِي،وَخُذْمِنْهُبِثَأْرِي

O Allaah, make my hearing and my sight strong, and make them my heirs (i.e., keep them strong until I die), and support me against the one who has wronged me, and avenge me. [Al-Bukhaari] Use this supplication in your daily life!

In the Quran you can find supplications in which waaritheen (inheritors) is used:

وَاجْعَلْنِيمِنوَرَ‌ثَةِجَنَّةِالنَّعِيم

And place me among the inheritors of the Garden of Pleasure. [Quran, 26:85]

وَزَكَرِ‌يَّاإِذْنَادَىٰرَ‌بَّهُرَ‌بِّلَاتَذَرْ‌نِيفَرْ‌دًاوَأَنتَخَيْرُ‌الْوَارِ‌ثِينَ

And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, “My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while you are the best of inheritors. [Quran, 21:89]

Wallahu ta’alaa ‘alem.

O Allah, Al-Waarith, we know that You are the Inheritor of the heavens and earth. Aid us in using our worldly possessions to gain Your pleasure, guide us in remembering frequently that we will return to You and make us act upon this knowledge. Help us to abide by Your laws and make us of those that will inherit the highest Paradise, ameen!

One of the oft-forgotten sunnan of Rasulullah salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam is to fast on the day of Ashura (i.e. the 10th of Muharram). What makes this day so special?

Ashura was the day in which Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala granted victory to Prophet Musa alayhis-salaam over Fir’aun, so Prophet Musa would fast on that day out of shukr to Allah. One time, Rasulullah ﷺ found Bani Israel fasting on the day of Ashura, so he ﷺ asked: ❛What is this day that you are fasting?❜

They replied: ❛This is a great day in which Allah saved Musa and his people, and He drowned Fir’aun and his people. Musa fasted on it due to gratitude, so we also fast on it.❜

🌺 Rasulullah ﷺ said: ❛We are more deserving and are closer to Musa than you.❜ And thus, he ﷺ fasted on the day of Ashura, and he commanded the Muslims to fast on it as well. 【Sahih al-Bukhari 3397 & Sahih Muslim 1130a】

🌺 Rasulullah ﷺ also encouraged us to fast Ashura AND the day before it (i.e. the 9th of Muharram) to distinguish our ‘ibaadah from the traditions of Bani Israel. He ﷺ said: ❛If I live until next year, I will certainly fast the 9th day of Muharram.❜ [Sahih Muslim 1134a]

🌺 Ibn Abbas radhi Allahu ‘anhu said: ❛I did not see the Prophet ﷺ as eager to fast a day and preferring it over others, except for this day of Ashura, and this month of Ramadan.❜ 【Sahih Muslim 1132】

With so many ahadith encouraging us to fast on Ashura, is there any special reward for fasting that day? Alhamdulillah, yes!

🌺 Rasulullah ﷺ said: ❛Fasting on the day of Ashura is an expiation for the sins of the previous year.❜ [Sahih Muslim 1162b]

So let us revive this sunnah by fasting on the 9th and 10th of Muharram, that we too may earn Allah’s forgiveness. That’s tomorrow (Monday) + Tuesday for us Malaysians. Please check your local Hijri calendar to affirm these dates.

May Allah accept from all of us.

Revive a forgotten sunnah

Abdullah bin Ja'far -may Allah be pleased with him- narrated:

I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) eating cucumber with fresh dates.

Sahih Muslim | 2043

[julaibib]

Find an abandoned Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and revive it.

[wordsbyhisheart]

Al-Madinah al-Munawwarah has the honour of being the resting place of the greatest of creation, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The reviver of Islam, the Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah, Imam Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states, “The blessed soil—i.e. the earth—which is touching his blessed body, is superior to the revered Kaaba, in fact it is superior to the Arsh.”
