The opinions expressed herein, through this post or comments, contain positions and viewpoints that are not necessarily those of IslamiCity. Adolf Gentiler October 22nd, Have been living and working in Middle East for nearly a decade now and can see that the bad blood between Shia and Sunni are getting worse day by day, got friends, colleagues at work and acquaintances in both sides, basically many Sunni may accept some things concerning Imam Hussein however they will never accept that some Shia they call him a prophet as they do in some places like Bahrain, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Iran and Pakistan, also the permanent combination of prayers where the Shia do not pray the five compulsory prayers daily although, many of the well educated Sunni that I talked to, even Saudi Wahabis, they say that that is between the beliver and God Hussein Ibn Ali as , the beloved grandson of the holy Prophet Muhammad saw was mercilessly murdered along with his family and companions, including a6 month old baby.
The women were chained and imprisoned. Prophet Muhammad saw loved Hussein immensely. For this important event to be ignored by a Muslim writer is strange if not surprising. Aal October 23rd, Many events took place on Ashora in history or many events took place some other day as well. Announce to the people that whoever has eaten should fast the rest of the day, and whoever has not eaten should fast the whole day , because today is the 'Ashura 10th day of Muharram. Still, reportedly, it carries much importance as a voluntary fast. Now let us look closely at these traditions: The Jews had their own calendar and months.
There is no logic in saying that they fasted on the 10th of Muharram - unless it could be proved that this date always coincided with a Jewish day of fast. Oesterley and Theodore H. Robinson have written that in Arabia "the most important of all the new-moon festivals was that which fell in the month of Rajab sic , equivalent to the Hebrew month 'Abib, for this was the time when the ancient Arabs celebrated the Spring festival.
Mustafa from us November 15th, I don't think it is right for you to say that your slate can't be cleaned from a single day. Where in the Quran does it say that? Many people fail to do their daily prayers because they may have been depressed or lost their connection to Allah but want to fast on this day to have a religious awakening and to feel like they can begin fresh and start becoming close to Allah again.
By saying certain sins are not forgiven shuts out many people from trying to pursue Allah this day. Only Allah knows who He will forgive and it is said in the Quran he is all forgiving. Please choose your words wisely in the future because you could cause people to, having had fasted on ashura and thinking they can reconnect to Allah again since their sins are forgiven, to forever be in a perpetual cycle of sin.
Hussein when my son found this place to witness the birth of his grandson, was disturbed by this and it was crying. We are sorry the day of martyrdom of the Prophet's grandson to know them a happy day. Saif Ullah Khan Mahsood from Pakistan November 24th, I am agreeing with it but there is something in it that I would like to elaborate on and that is 1 there are not three options fasting on the day of Ashura but TWO.
Mohammad from usa November 23rd, This hadith is not correct. Gumel from USA November 23rd, May Allah give the whole Ummah taufiq to follow the footsteps of our beloved Rasulullah and his faithful companions who followed him to the minutest detail. As they say if your house is on fire you have to put it off first before you go to your neighbours house which is also on fire.
Ashura - Wikipedia
Ali Reza from United States November 21st, This article is among many articles that shows whats wrong with the Ummah. That hadith is a bani Ummayad hadith that was fabricated to cover up the true significance of Ashura. Who cares about the Jews where our own kind killed grandson of our holy prophet. Oh Ummah of Muhammad sa. The time is running out. Do you want to continue reading such nonesense or accept the truth. That our holy prophet prophceisze killing of his favorite grandson at hands of very those that kissed his hands. Oh Hussain, we salute you! If you believe that this Hadith is true and if you are a true follower of Prophet Muhammad PBUH everyone should fast if possible and he should not be seen as taking sides.
May Allah guide us to the right path and prevent division in Islam. Aziz from Pakistan December 5th, We should fast on this day since the Prophet peace be upon him told the Muslims to fast and NOT base this or mix this with other events, historical or otherwise.
