    Muharram is also a religious month in Islam just like three others. There is a fast in this month called the fast of Ashura. There are many references in hadith I will mention some here.

    Fasting in Muharram pre existed before Islam. After prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated to Madinah, He found that Jews were fasting on the same day. They gave the reason for that Sahih Albukahri 3397:

    This is a great day on which Allah saved Moses and drowned the folk of Pharaoh. Moses observed the fast on this day, as a sign of gratitude to Allah.

    That is why the prophet said to have two fasts on Muharram, a day before Ashura and the day of Ashura.

    Fast on the day before and the day after Ashura.

    In another Hadith of Sahih Muslim 1163, the Prophet Muhammad said:

    The best of fasts after Ramadan is in the Month of Allah, which you call Muharram.

    The day of Ashura is of great importance. There is another hadith of Sahih Muslims 1162 that explains that Allah forgives all sins of the previous year to have a fast on Ashura.

    I hope from Allah that fasting on the Day of Arafah expiates for the sins of the year before it and the year after it.

    It is important to know that fasting on Ashura is not compulsory but it is Sunnah. Reference from Sahih Al Bukhari:

    Fast if you wish and those who do not, are not obliged to do so.

    This is not white gold, rather it is called silver that means ‘Chandi’. As far as the question is concerned, yes it is permissible for men to wear a ring of silver.

    Anas bin Malik RA narrates that the Messenger of Allah had a silver ring that he used to wear in His right hand. [Sahih Muslim:2094, Sunan Al-Nasayi:5212 etc.]

    Also, there is another Hadith narrated by Abdullah bin Umar RA that the Holy Prophet Peace Be Upon Him took a silver ring seeing which the companions also took silver rings to wear. [Muttafaqyn Alaih, Sahih Bukhari:5866, Sahih Muslim:2091].

    Due to such Hadiths, majority of the Scholars permits men to wear silver.

    Mam Khadija, you should, instead, say that Quran and Hadith are the two primary sources of Islamic Law. There are other sources as Ijma, Qiyas, Istehsan etc. but they are all secondary sources.

    A human being is fundamentally considered the noblest of all creatures because they possess moral dimensions within themselves. It is their existence based on moral values that forms the foundation of any society’s establishment. In fact, the mutual rights and sense of responsibility are the reasons for the strong bonds within a family, tribe, and society. Only religion provides the principles and regulations for humans to live by in this world. It is religion that instills a sense of responsibility in humans, reminding them of their duties and obligations, which form the basis of their relationship with their Creator. When a person starts following the teachings of a religion, they begin to ponder why they came into this world and why God created them. Once they find the answer to this question through their religion, they become engaged in striving to follow the path prescribed by their religion. Thus, when a person adopts the good teachings of their religion, they contribute to the establishment of a healthy society. However, if they choose to deviate from the path set by their religion, they become a source of discord in society.
