Assalam alaykum
Ashra Jul-Hijja ke ibtedai 10 din bahot barkatwale aur fazilat wale hai. Humare Pyare Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam ne ye 9 din ke roze kabhi tarq nahi kiye, hume bhi ye roze rakhne chahiye.
Agar ye 9 Roze rakh na sake to kum-se-kum 3 din (7, 8, 9 Jil-Hijja) ke roze jaroor rakhe kyonki ye 3 din Hajj ke dino mein se hai aur jyada ehmiyat wale hai. aur is martaba ye 3 roze Jumerat, Juma aur Hafte ke din aa rahe hai jis se is ka aur bhi jyada sawab hasil hoga. darje zil hadees par gaur kare.
2 Saal ki Ibadat ka Sawab
Hazrat Sayyiduna Anas Radi Allahu Anhu say marvi hay kay Pyare Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam ka Farman-e-Mushkbar hay:†Jis nay Mah-e-Haraam mein 3 din Jume’rat, Jumu’a aur Hafta (ya’ni sinicher) ka
rozah rakha us kay liye 2 saal ki ‘ibadat ka sawab likha jae ga.†(Al Mu’jam-ul-Awsat lit-Tabrani, jild 1, safha 485, Hadees 1789)
Yahan Mah-e-Haraam say murad yehi 4 mah Zul Qa’da, Zul Hijjah, Muharram-ul-Haraam aur Rajab-ul-Murajjab hain, in charon maheenon mein say jis mah mein bhi bayan kerda 3 dinon ka rozah rakh len gey tou Insha Allah Taala 2 saal ki ibadat ka sawab paen gey.
