DEAR Visitor,

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu,

A few reminders from the Islamic Society of Delaware:

Welcome Hujjaj Program at ISD (Masjid Ibraheem)

Islamic Society of Delaware invites everyone to come join the community potluck event at Masjid Ibraheem on Nov 17, 2012 after Isha Prayer.

Happy New Islamic Year 1434

Islamic Society of Delaware management wishes a Happy New Islamic Year Everyone. Insha-allah it will bring more peace and prosperity to all in the world.

THE DAY OF AASHORA (10TH MUHARRAM)

Although the month of Muharram is a sacred month as a whole, the 10th of Muharram is the most sacred among all its days. The day is named 'Ashurah'. It is one of the most important and blessed days of Allah Ta’ala in the Islamic calendar.

FASTING

The Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) has exhorted and encouraged his Ummah to fast on this day. He said:

"This fast is a compensation for the (minor) sins of the past year." (Hadith:Muslim)

"Observe the fast of Aashora and oppose the Jews. Fast a day before it or a day after."(Hadith:Baihaqi)

Hence, it is important to either fast on the ninth and the tenth or the tenth and the eleventh of Muharram. To fast only on the day of Aashora is Makrooh(undesirable).
