Prepare for Muḥarram al Ḥaram

Bismillah Arrahman Arraheem

“Rayyan ibn Shabeeb says: I went to see Imām Alī ibn Mūsā al-Rezā (a.s.) on the first day of the (Arabic) month of Muharram. 

Imām Alī ibn Mūsā al-Rezā (a.s.) said:

‘O Ibn Shabeeb! Are you fasting?’ I answered, ‘No.’ The Imām (a.s) said, ‘Today is the day on which Zakariya prayed to his Lord - the Honorable the Exalted, ‘There did Zakariya pray to his Lord, saying, ‘O my Lord! Grant unto me from Thee a progeny that is pure: for Thou art He that heareth prayer!’’ [Holy Qur’an, 3:38] And Allāh (s.w.t.) fulfilled his prayer and ordered the angels to call Zakariya ‘While he was standing in prayer in the chamber, the angels called unto him, ‘(Allāh) doth give thee glad tidings of Yahya, witnessing the truth of a Word from Allāh  and (be besides) noble, chaste, and a Prophet, of the (goodly) company of the righteous.’’ [Holy Qur’an, 3:39] 

Therefore, just as Allāh(s.w.t.) fulfilled the prayers of Zakariya, the Honorable the Exalted Allāh will fulfill the prayers of whoever fasts on this day, and asks Allāh for something.’
