Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

 

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Do the tings we do on the first day of muharram effect the whole year?

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Muharram effects whole year

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Dear and beloved brother in Islam, to the best of our knowledge there is absolutely nothing in the Glorious Quran or the authentic and established Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws) which even remotely implies that what one does on any particular day effects his actions, deeds, or behavior the whole of the following year!

 

Beloved brother, to believe or fear that what one does on a particular day or night of the year will have an effect on their behavior or character the whole of the following year is amongst the pagan beliefs and superstitions and have absolutely nothing to do with the Truth or Reality.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

 

 

Burhan
