Give Generously: Embrace Muharram 2024 Blessings

Muharram is the time of the year that highlights the story of Karbala, about 1400 years ago, when Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his companions faced immense hardships, including deprivation of basic necessities like water and food. By engaging in acts of charity, such as donating water and cooked food, it’s time to commemorate and honour the sacrifices made by Imam Hussain (RA) and his followers. Donate to Muharram water appeal and cooked food, and gain countless rewards.

What is Muharram?

Muharram is the first Islamic month holding great significance following important events from Islamic history. It is one of the most sacred Islamic months, as mentioned in the Qur’an during which every act of worshipping and compassion is immensely rewarded.

For those who want to know what is Muharram, the literal meaning of the word ‘Muharram’ is ‘Forbidden’ which signifies that warfare is forbidden during this month. These blessed days encourage Muslims to focus on Ibadah, self-reflection, and acts of charity.

The Prophet (PBUH) said:

“The year consists of twelve months, with four of them being sacred: Dhul-Qi’dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab, which falls between Jumada (Thani) and Shaban, belonging to the tribe of Mudar.” (Bukhari)

When is Muharram 2024?

The beginning of the Islamic calendar 2024 depends on the moon sighting for Muharram 2024. For those who are looking for when is Muharram 2024, the first Islamic month will begin on Sunday 7th July 2024. However, the change in this date is due to the moon sighting.

May Allah (SWT) bless us all with HIS divine mercy and rewards during this sacred month. While making a dua in Muharram, pray for a peaceful and prosperous new Islamic year for the Muslim Ummah.

Reviving Hope in Muharram for Ibrahim: Al-Wahab Foundation's Water Relief in Mithi

My name is Muhammad Ibrahim and I live here in Mithi. We are 14 family members and three of us are earning to meet our daily needs. Though survival is difficult with limited wages and rising inflation, even then we are struggling hard to make ends meet. The biggest problem we have been facing is of lacking access to clean drinking water. We have to go to far-off areas to fetch water and that water is also not clean and safe to drink. We are greatly thankful to Al-Wahab Foundation and Mufti Abdul Wahab for understanding our problem and installing this water hand pump that will serve us a good purpose. May Allah bless Mufti Abdul Wahab and the dedicated team of Al-Wahab Foundation for this kindness.

The Blessings of Fasting in Muharram

Fasting in Muharram is one of the greatest virtues. An important day, falling on the 10th of Muharram, which is the day of Ashura, is considered the best time to observe fasting. According to Al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Abbas (R.A) expressed that fasting on two days, including Ashura, distinguishes our closeness to Prophet Musa (A.S) among others.

Moreover, the pre-Islamic tradition of fasting on the 10th of Muharram was practiced by the Quraish tribe. When the Holy Prophet (SAW) migrated to Madinah, he noticed the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) fasting on the same day. Upon inquiring about the reason, they responded: “This is a blessed day. On this day, Allah saved Prophet Musa and drowned the people of Pharaoh. So, Prophet Musa (A.S) fasted on this day to give thanks to Allah.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

The significance of fasting in Muharram and the day of Ashura can also be referred to this Hadith reference:

The Prophet (SAW) said, “Fasting the day of Ashura, I hope that Allah will accept it as an expiation for (the sins committed in) the previous year.” (Muslim)

Let’s follow the path of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and make the most of Muharram 2024 by observing fasting and gaining abundant blessings.

Give the Gift of Water This Muharram 2024

Reflecting on the hardships faced during battle of Karbala and the shortage of water for Hazrat Imam Hussain’s (RA) family and companions, today, there are many children who die every day as they don’t have access to clean and safe water. The story of Muharram signifies why giving the gift of water is one of the greatest acts to do during Muharram 2024.

Like every year, Al-Wahab Foundation brings you the opportunity to gain immense rewards during Muharram 2024 by donating towards the Muharram water appeal. Your contribution to the installation of a water hand pump and your water well donation can be a vital source for many to have easy access to clean drinking water.

Our Muharram water appeal is a significant effort to alleviate water scarcity in impoverished areas to give hope and healthy life to those in need. Your support for a water hand pump and water well donation can make a significant difference this Muharram.

The History and Story of Muharram

As the crescent of this sacred month graces our skies, marking the beginning of a new Islamic year, we are reminded of profound historical events. It is a time when we recall the liberation of the Children of Israel by the Prophet Musa (AS) from the oppressive rule of Pharaoh, the joyous day when the Prophet Nuh (AS) and his companions disembarked from the Ark, and above all, the unparalleled sacrifices made by Imam Hussain (RA), his family, and companions during the Battle of Karbala.

Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) endured the heart-wrenching loss of his infant son, who tragically perished in his arms due to the denial of water, while countless others dear to him were held captive and martyred. Muharram stands as one of the holiest months, second only to Ramadan, urging us to strengthen our devotion to Allah (SWT) and pay respect to Imam Hussain (RA) through prayer, charity, and fasting.

This sacred month, you can express your reverence for the historical and spiritual significance of this month by donating water well or contributing to feeding the food-deprived people in honour of the Prophet (ﷺ), Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA), or his companions. By doing so, you embark on a remarkable path of saving lives and transforming communities for generations to come.

Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) stated, “The most generous of people, is the one who gives to those from whom he has no hope of return.” – Imam Hussain (RA)
