These days are called \u201cAyyam al-B\u012b\u1e93,\u201d meaning the days of the bright nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged fasting these three days each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He \ufdfa said<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFasting three days a month is equal to fasting the entire year.\u201d<br>Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 1979<br>Sahih Muslim Hadith Number 1162<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another hadith states<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you fast three days a month, then fast on the 13th, 14th, and 15th.\u201d<br>Sunan al-Tirmidhi hadith number 761<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Think about it for a moment.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just three days of fasting in just 30 days.<br>Can't you do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe that with sincere desire, anyone can do it, God willing. You just need to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially in winter, when the days are short, fasting becomes much easier. It's only a brief period of hardship, but it brings a great reward from Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resolve to start today.<br>I will fast for Allah at least three days every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when your faith, knowledge, and love for the religion increase even more, then you can do both if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2714 3 days a month \u2714 and 2 days a week<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although these are voluntary acts, their reward with Allah is immense. Check the Arabic calendar and mark in advance which three days you will fast. Allah will reward the fasting person with His own hand. May Allah make it easy for you and keep you steadfast in these beautiful deeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1453,"menu_order":33,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoires":[138],"class_list":["post-991","topics","type-topics","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoires-do-monthly"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/afraishmum.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/afraishmum.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/afraishmum.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topics"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afraishmum.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afraishmum.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/afraishmum.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoires","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afraishmum.com\/en_us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoires?post=991"}],"curies":[{"name":"WordPress","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
