DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Ithnayn, 30th day of Jumaada Al-Thani (Monday 24th of February, 2020).
LETS CONTINUE WITH OUR TOPIC ON DAYS, MONTHS AND ISLAMIC EVENTS AND DATES. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Ashura falls on the 10th of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. Ashura commemorates the exodus of Musah alaihi salaam from Egypt, and is usually observed by completing an optional fast as practiced by the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him.
Ramadan (Islamic month of Fasting) is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar, during which we fast daily from dawn to sunset as part of an effort towards self-purification and moral excellence. We Muslims believe that Ramadan is the month in which the first verses of Islam’s holy book, the Qur’an, were revealed by ALLAH through the Angel Gabriel to the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him.
The Hajj, or annual pilgrimage to Mecca, consists of several rituals which symbolize the essential concepts of the Islamic faith, such as devotion to ALLAH, brotherhood, and unity. The rituals of the Hajj also commemorate the trials of the Prophet Abraham alaihi salaam and his family. Hajj is required once in a Muslim’s lifetime if one is financially and physically able. Three to four million Muslims perform the pilgrimage annually.
Islamic New Year marks the beginning of the new year on the Islamic calendar. The Islamic calendar began with the migration - or Hijra – of the Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him and his followers from Macca to Madina. This event has a special significance in Islamic history as it marks the end of the period of persecution in Macca and the transition to a recognized faith community in Madina.
May ALLAH keep guiding us all and increases us in beneficial knowledge. Aameen.
