Muharram (Arabic: المحرّم)
is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months
of the year.Since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, Muharram moves from
year to year when compared with the Gregorian calendar.
The word "Muharram" means "Forbidden"
and is derived from the word harām, meaning "sinful". It is held to
be the most sacred of all the months, excluding Ramadan. Some Muslims fast
during these days. The tenth day of Muharram is the Day of Ashura, which to
Shia Muslims is part of the Mourning of Muharram.
10th of Muharram: On this day he who spends more lavishly
for the sake of his family members, Allah Ta'aalaa will bestow blessing upon
the sustenance of the following year. Abu Qataada (R.A.) has related that the
Prophet has reported to have said that by fasting on the 10th of Muharram Allah
Ta'aalaa will pardon the sins of the past year.
