THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 12th day of RabeeulAwwal, 1445AH (Wednesday, 27th September, 2023). Our Topic for today is on Voluntary Fasting. Bismillah.
One of the most important acts of worship is fasting which is excellent for us spiritually and its healthy for us too. Our beloved Messenger of ALLAH recommended us to fast on Mondays and Thursdays and also the 3 white days of each Islamic calendar which start tomorrow.
“Beed” is the plural of “Abyad” which means white. Three days of 13, 14 and 15 of lunar month are called “Al-Ayyam-ul-Beed” for the reason that their nights are bright because of the moonlight. The moon begins to diminish gradually after these days. Abu Dharr (radiAllaahu ‘anhu) said: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said to me:“If you fast any part of the month, then fast the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, (761); al-Nasaa’i, (2424); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, (1038).
Abu Hurayrah (radiAllaahu ‘anhu) said: “My close friend [i.e., the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)] advised me to do three things which I will never give up until I die: fasting three days each month, praying Duha, and sleeping after praying Witr.” (al-Bukhaari, 1178; Muslim, 721). The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: Shall I not tell you of something that will take away the evil of the heart? Fasting three days of each month.’ (an-Nisaa’i 2/2386).
*_May ALLAH aid us through and purify our intentions so that we can act only to please HIM_*. Aameen.
