SURAH
AN-NABA': 78 (The Great Event)
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE BENEFICENT THE MOST MERCIFUL
And
the mountains will be set in motion, so they will be as mirage.
[20]
COMMENTARY:
(and the mountains will be set in motion, so they will be
as mirage 78:20). The word ‘Suyyirat’ 'set in
motion' signifies that mountains, which are taken as an example
of firmness and strength, will be shifted from their positions,
and will become like little particles of dust flying about
in the atmosphere.
The
word ‘Saraab’ literally means 'to disappear' and
it also refers to 'mirage' or an optical illusion, as of a
sheet of water, that sometimes appears in a desert, because
it seems to be a sheet of water from a distance, but when
a person comes near it, it disappears. [MA'AARIFUL
QUR'AAN]

MUHARRAM
& AASHURA
------------------------
MUHARRAM is the first month of the Islamic calendar. Muharram
means "Forbidden." Even before Islam, this month
was always known as a scared month in which all unlawful
acts were forbidden, prominently the shedding of blood.
It is one of the four sanctified months about which Allah
Ta'ala says: "The number of months in the sight of
Allah are twelve, so ordained by Allah, the day He created
the heavens and the earth; Of them four are sacred. That
is the correct religion, so wrong not yourselves therein."
(Surah Tawbah - verse 36)
The
four sanctified months according to authentic Ahaadeeth
are the months of Zul- Qa'dah, Zul-Hijjah, Muharram and
Rajab. The sanctity of these months was observed in the
Shariah of all the previous Prophets. "Allah Ta'ala
made them (i.e. the four months) sacred and increased their
sanctity. Hence He declared a sin therein more severe and
increased the virtue of good deeds and the reward thereof."
(Ibn Katheer Vol.2)
The
best of fasts besides the month of Ramadhaan is the fast during
Allah's month of Muharram and the best of Salaah besides the
Faraaidh (obligatory salaah) is the Tahajjud Salaah (performed
after midnight). (Muslim,Vol. 1)
THE
DAY OF AASHURAH (10TH OF MUHARRAM)
The Tenth of Muharram, known as the day of Aashura, is a very
significant day in the Islamic Calendar. Nabi (sallallahu
alaiyhi wassallam) has exhorted the Ummah to fast on this
day. Sayyadatina Aaisha (rahiyallahu anha) reports that Nabi
(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) ordered the observance of the
fast of Aashura.
Sayyadina
Ibn Abbaas (radhiyallahu anhu) says: "I did not see Rasulullah
(sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) anxiously await the fast of
any day, which he gave preference to (over other days), except
this day of Aashura and the month of Ramadhaan." (Bukhari,
Vol. 1) |

WOMEN
SACRIFICES
-----------------------------
Eleven
people were hanging on a rope under a helicopter, ten men
and one woman. The rope was not strong enough to carry them
all, so they decided that one had to leave, otherwise they
were all going to fall.
They
weren't able to name that person, until the woman gave a
very touching speech. She said that she would voluntarily
let go of the rope, because, as a woman, she was used to
giving up everything for her husband and kids, or for men
in general, and was used to always making sacrifices with
little in return.
As
soon as she finished her speech, all the men started clapping
their hands...
