MERITS OF MUHARRAM AND ‘ASHURA

Ibn Al-Jawzy (may Allah mercy him) said: Brothers (may Allah mercy you), know that Muharram is honorable month, and it is called Muharram (i.e. forbidden) because it was forbidden to fight in it. (At-Tabsirah: 2/6). It is one of the sacred months which Allah almighty said about them: {Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year),

so was it ordained by Allâh on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islâmic calendar).

That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) collectively as they fight against you collectively.

But know that Allah is with those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious)} [At-Tawbah 9:36].
