By the tender age of 10, Allah allowed him to memorise The Qur’an and Buloogh Al Maraam – a book that contains more than 1,300 hadith. He then went on to formally study Islam in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Somalia, before returning to the UK as an Imaam and a da’ee. He has delivered hundreds of hours of Islamic content on YouTube and has fast become a popular name amongst the English-speaking Muslim audience. Non-Official podcast.

Ustadh AbdulRahman Ali covers the origin of the Islamic calendar and why ʿUmar chose to date it from the hijrah, the virtue of fasting in Muharram and on the day of Ashura, and how the salaf treated the passing of time as a reason to hold themselves to account ⏳ rather than a reason to celebrate. Rather than waiting for one day a year to begin again, the believer renews every morning 🌅. May Allah allow us to enter this year upon His obedience and to make the most of every day we are given. ✨ Timestamps: 0:00 Precap 1:03 Introduction 2:49 How The Arabs Marked Time Before Islam 5:41 Where The Islamic Calendar Came From? 7:23 How A Muslim Benefits From The Lunar Calendar 10:03 The Virtue Of Fasting In Muharram 10:50 The Day Of Ashura And Mūsā ﷺ 12:21 The Reward For Fasting Ashura 13:13 Do Muslims Celebrate The New Year? 17:29 The Salaf Who Dug Their Own Graves 18:19 Rejoice Every Day, Not Every Year 19:29 Hold Yourself To Account Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abdu...
