The month of Muharram is the first month of the Arabic year, and it is one
of the four sacred months of Allah. Allah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
"Verily, the number of months with Allaah is twelve months (in a year), so
was it ordained by Allaah 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 Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not
yourselves therein"
[translated from Al-Quran, surah At-Taubah: 36]
Al-Bukhari (3167) and Muslim (1679) narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be
pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: "The division of time has turned to its original form which was
current the day Allaah created the heavens and earth. The year consists of
twelve months of which four are sacred: three consecutive months,
Dhu'l-Qa'dah, Dhu'l-Hijjah and Muharram, and Rajab of Mudar which comes
between Jumada and Sha'ban."
It was proven from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)
that the best fasting after Ramadaan is fasting in the month of Muharram. It
was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The
best fasting after Ramadan is the month of Allaah Muharram, and the best
prayer after the obligatory prayer is prayer at night." Narrated by Muslim,
1163.
With regard to the phrase "the month of Allah", mentioning the month in
conjunction with Allah is a sign of its great status. Al-Qaari said: it
seems that what is meant is all of the month of Muharram.
But it was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon
him) did not fast any month in full apart from Ramadan, so this hadeeth is
to be understood as meaning that it is it is encouraged to fast a lot in the
month of Muharram, not to fast the whole month.
'Abd-Allah ibn 'Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: When the
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fasted on the
day of 'Ashura and told the people to fast, they said, "O Messenger of
Allah, this is a day that is venerated by the Jews and Christians." The
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Next
year, if Allah wills, we will fast on the ninth day." But by the time the
following year came, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) had passed away.
Narrated by Muslim, 1916.
Al-Shafi'i and his companions, Ahmad, Ishaaq and others said: It is
mustahabb [recommended] to fast both the ninth and the tenth, because the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fasted the tenth and
intended to fast the ninth.
Based on this, there are different ways of fasting 'Ashura', the least of
which is to fast the tenth only, but it is better to fast the ninth as well.
The more one fasts in Muharram, the better.
If one were to ask, what is the wisdom behind fasting the ninth as well as
the tenth? The answer is:
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The scholars among our
companions and others said that there are several reasons for recommending
fasting on the ninth day (Tasu'a'):
1 – The intention behind it is to be different from the Jews who limit their
fasting to the tenth day. This was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas.
2 – The intention was to join the fast of 'Ashura' to another day, just as
it is not allowed to fast on a Friday on its own [but it is allowed if one
fasts the day before or the day after as well].
3 – The idea is to be on the safe side and make sure one is fasting on the
tenth, in case the moon sighting was not accurate and what people think is
the ninth is actually the tenth.
The strongest of these reasons is in order to be different from the People
of the Book. Ibn Taymiyah said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be
upon him) forbade resembling the People of the Book in many ahadith. For
example, he said concerning 'Ashoora': "If I live until next year I will
certainly fast the ninth." Al-Fataawa al-Kubra, part 6.
Ibn Hajar (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, commenting on the hadeeth "If
I live until next year I will certainly fast the ninth":
His concern to fast the ninth may be understood as meaning that he would not
limit himself to that, rather that he would add it to the tenth, either to
be on the safe side, or to be different from the Jews and Christians, which
is more likely to be correct; this is what may be understood from some of
the reports narrated by Muslim."
From Fath al-Baari, 4/245.
And Allah knows best.

"Say, there is no god but Allah. You'll be successful."

Sesungguhnya, hanya dengan mengingat Allah, hati akan tenang.
now surely by Allah's remembrance are the hearts set at rest.
N'est-ce point par l'évocation d'Allah que se tranquillisent les coeurs.
im Gedenken Allahs ist's, daß Herzen Trost finden können.
