    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 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.

    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!

    Dreaming about fish can mean different things depending on the context and your connection with fish. Generally, fish in dreams often symbolize your emotions, inner feelings, and unconscious thoughts. Here are some common interpretations:

    1. Abundance: Fish, especially if they are vibrant in your dream, can symbolize abundance, wealth, or fertility. This might suggest good luck or a feeling of life satisfaction.
    2. Emotions and Creativity: Since fish live in water, dreaming of fish can relate to your emotional state and creativity. It might suggest that you are exploring deeper feelings or tapping into your artistic side.
    3. Adaptability and Flexibility: Fish are agile and adapt to different environments. Dreaming of fish can reflect your ability to navigate through changing situations or emotions in waking life.
    4. Subconscious Desires: Fish can sometimes represent desires or urges that are hidden beneath the surface. Consider what the fish are doing in your dream (swimming freely, trapped, etc.) for clues about your desires.
    5. Spiritual Symbolism: In some cultures, fish hold spiritual significance, representing transformation, wisdom, or faith. Your dream about fish could have spiritual implications based on your beliefs.
    6. Warning or Awareness: Occasionally, dreaming of fish might serve as a warning or highlight something important. Pay attention to the details and how you feel during the dream for any clues.

    Remember, dream interpretation is very personal. Think about what fish means to you personally and what’s happening in your life for a more tailored understanding of your dream.
