Muharram: A Month of Hardship & Ease

The sacred month of Muharram is almost here. It is a month of great hardship as the battle of Karbala took place, and many companions and relatives of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) were held captive and died, including his grandson.   

However, it is also a beautiful month of ease. Allah (swt) helped Prophet Musa (as) to part the sea and flee the evil, Firaun, with the children of Israel. Also in Muharram, the ark of Prophet Nuh reached the safety of Mount Judi, marking a new beginning and hope. 

This Muharram, around the world we are witnessing intense hardship and bountiful ease, too, as we see increased natural disasters and conflict, inflation and global hunger reaching new heights. Allah promises us that ease follows hardship, and that any Sadaqah given to those in need is a form of protection and brings ample reward.

Let’s go into the month of ALLAH by giving Sadaqah Jariyah and donating a water hand pump or sponsoring a Hafiz.
