White Days

I want to remind myself and all of you to fast the three white days. It is a SUNNAH and rewarded as fasting the whole life as mentioned in Hadith Sahih.
The 3 white days are the 13, 14, and 15 of each hijri islamic (lunar) month.
These days are called three white days (ayyam beed) because the full moon shines at their nights.
Scholars explained how fasting these days is as if fasting the whole life by saying that,
The good deed (hassanat) is rewarded 10 times its value
So if any one fasts those 3 days then it will be as fasting (3*10 = 30 days = 1 month), and if he keep doing that every month it will be as fasting the whole life.
- Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “My close friend [i.e., the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] 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).

“Whoever fasts a day seeking the pleasure of Allaah and then dies [i.e. that is the last thing he does] will enter Paradise.” (Reported by Ahmad, 5/391; see also Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1/412)
“The prayer (du’aa’) of the fasting person will not be refused.” (Reported by al-Bayhaqi, 3/345; see also al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1797)[/b]

  2. According to a scholar, "the difference between an ordinary muslim and a friend of Allah is that the latter knows how to safeguard and preserve the blessings of Allah. Each fast instills noor and a friend of Allah knows how to retain that noor."

    Allah Ta'ala aapko duniya aur aakhirat mein apnay sab se pasandidah logoon mein shamil karay. Jazak Allahu Khaairun...

  3. Al-Imran 3:134 Those who spend (freely), whether in prosperity, or in adversity; who restrain anger, and pardon (all) men - for God loves those who do good.
