MUHARRAM AND ASHURA

From the Book

It is from several verses of the Qur’an that Allama Ibn Qayyim (Rahmatullaahi Alay) has deduced that certain places and times have added virtue within themselves and not because of their relationship with another factor.

 Among these verses is the verse of Surah An’aam where Allaah says, “Allaah knows best where (i.e. with whom) He wishes to entrust His message.”

From mankind, Allaah has granted special virtue to the Ambiya (Prophets) (A.S) because they were selected to convey His messages to the masses. Furthermore, Allaah §g has also granted some Ambiya (A.S) added virtue over the others.

From among the nights, special virtue has been given to the night of Qadr (Power) and the night of Baraa’ah (15 the night of Shabaan).

It is also common knowledge that Makkah Mukarrama and Madinah Munawwara enjoy special virtue above other places on earth. The same applies to other times and places.

 The month of Muharram and the day of Aashura The Ahadeeth mention that the month of Muharram and the day of Aashura (10 th of Muharram) enjoy special virtues that other days do not possess.

Among these months is also the month of Muharram, as specified by the Qur’an and the Ahadeeth of Rasulullaah M-
