10th Of Muharram

The Fast of ‘Ashura (The 10th of Muharram

( Jualan Mega Tahun Baru!! Dari 9-10 dan 10- 11 Muharram 1430 Hijrah)

Assalamualaikum kepada semua saudara Islam ku...
Besok adalah 'Ashura. Digalakkan kita berpuasa pada hari itu. Bukan hanya untuk mendapatkan fadhilatnya, tetapi...untuk mendapat keredhaan Allah Ta'ala, menghapuskan dosa tahun lepas kita, dan meraikan beberapa kejayaan dan kemenangan yang telah berlaku kepada Nabi2 Alayhimussalam pada zaman dahulu.
Sambutan New Year 2009, memang meriah kan? Ramai yang sanggup bersengkang mata demi menunggu detik 12 malam menyambut kedatangan tahun 2009. Siap berkampung di tempat2 yang akan mengadakan sambutan tahun baru. Ada gunanya ek? Apa ye? Yang saya boleh fikir.....seronok, excited, memeriahkan suasana sambutan...and ..u list the reason!
Kita masih dalam bulan pertama, bulan Muharram. 'Ashura , pada pemahaman dan amalan saya yang tak cukup zat ni, saya ibaratkannya sebagai JUALAN MEGA TAHUN BARU 2009 @ 1430 HIJRAH. Sebab, puasa bulan Muharran adalah yang paling afdhal selepas bulan Ramadhan( dinyatakan dalam sebuah hadith). Allah yang sedia Maha Pemurah, menawarkan pelbagai tawaran2 yang menarik, hebat serta lumayan. Puasa sehari/dua, setahun dosa diampunkan.
Bagi makan orang yang lapar.....set hidangan makanan Syurga adalah ganjarannya. Allahu Akbar!

‘Ashura is a day of great historical significance. On this day: Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) accepted the repentance of Sayyidina Adam ('Alaihis-Salaam) after his exile from Paradise; Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) saved Sayyidina Nuh ('Alaihis-Salaam) and his companions in the ark; Allah extinguished the fire in which Sayyidina Ibrahim ('Alaihis-Salaam) was thrown by Nimrod; And Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) spoke directly to Sayyidina Musa ('Alaihis-Salaam) and gave him the Commandments. On this same 10th of Muharram, Sayyidina Ayyub ('Alaihis-Salaam) was restored to health (from leprosy); Sayyidina Yusuf ('Alaihis-Salaam) was reunited with his father Ya’qub ('Alaihis-Salaam); Sayyidina Yunus ('Alaihis-Salaam) was taken out from the belly of the fish; and the sea was divided as the nation of israel was delivered from captivity and Pharoah’s army was destroyed. ‘Ashura is also the day when the kingdom of Sulaiman ('Alaihis-Salaam) was restored; Sayyidina Isa ('Alaihis-Salaam) was raised to Jannah; and Sayyidina al- Imam Husayn (Radiyallahu 'anh) (the Holy Nabi’s, Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim, grandson) achieved the honor of Martyrdom.

Worship Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) as much as you can on ‘Ashura.
1- Whoever fasts on this day is like one who fasts all his life.
2- Whoever clothes a naked person Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) will release him from a painful punishment.
3- He who visits a sick person, Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) will grant him a reward that will not be decreased.
4- Whoever places his hand on an orphan’s head, or feeds a hungry person or gives water to a thirsty man, Allah will feed him a feast from Paradise and will quench his thirst with Salsabil (a wine that does not intoxicate).
5- And who ever takes a Ghusl on this day will enjoy excellent health and freedom from sickness and indolence.
6- Whoever provides generously for his family on this day, Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) will be generous to him throughout this year.
7- And whoever applies Kuhl to his eyes will never suffer from eye-sore again, Insha’Allah al-Aziz

O’ Allah! Bless us to perform good deeds and gain their reward on ‘Ashura. Make the new year one of unity, cooperation and success for Muslims in this city and around the world. Ameen.

" Yang saya nyatakan di sini adalah sebahagian daripada apa yang saya telah baca. Kalau ada yang nak baca keseluruhannya, here's the key to the door,(http://www.ummah.net/Al_adaab/months/ashura.html). Saya nak kongsi dengan yang lain, kelebihan 'Ashura ni. I mean, i want someone else to share with me what they know or read regarding this virtueos day. Di Madrasah dulu, 2 hari ni...MasyaAllah! Satu madrasah puasa sama sama. Macam bulan Ramadhan pula. Bila puasa ramai ramai, kita jadi lebih bersemangat. "
Puasa 2 hari tak susahkan?
Antara amalan2 yang boleh kita lakukan ialah: Puasa, Taubat, Zikir, Tilawat Al-Quran, bagi makanan kepada orang yang berpuasa(lapar dan dahaga), hadiah pada sahabat2 atau keluarga atau sesiapa sahaja ( spend on others), doa, solat2 sunat dan kurangkan bercakap yang sia-sia.
