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.

In the Holy Quran, Allah Ta'ala has narrated one of His prophecies: وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيّRead more

And when (Prophet) Jesus, the son of Mary said: ‘Children of Israel, I am sent to you by Allah to confirm the Torah that was before me, and to give news of a Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) who will come after me whose name shall be Ahmad. [Al Saf, 61:6]
This verse clearly points out the statement.

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:

This question of who is the creator of something comes to mind about things that seem creatures to us i.e. created beings. When this is not the case, we do not ask for the creator of a thing. For example, when we see a chair made of wood, we ask for its creator, carpenter in this case, because we know that a chair can’t get made from wood by itself. But, if we see a piece of wood randomly put on the ground, we don’t ask for its creator i.e. the carpenter.
We see the world around us that it has been made and that the whole universe is caught in a web of mathematical and physical laws and the irony is that it can’t explain itself in the sense that from where did these laws come? All this points out the presence of a full conscious being behind its creation but we don’t know anything about it. Hence, certain questions come to our minds; Who created matter? Who put life in the matter? Who put consciousness in the matter? This all compels us to look for some external source to be the creator of this world.
On the Other hand, in terms of God, we haven’t seen him. We don’t know whether He is a created being. Hence, the question of a creator is irrelevant in this case. Now, Who really God is? that’s a different domain. Hopes you understand!
