"Indeed, male and female Muslim, male and female believers, men and women who remain in obedience, men and women who are true, men and women who are patient, both men and women who fervently , men and women who give alms, men and women who fast, men and women who maintain his honor, men and women who many call (name of) Allah, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and great reward " . (Surat al-Ahzab: 35).

Fasting Ashura is strongly recommended by Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. He said,

"Fasting is the most important after the fasting of Ramadan is fasting the month of Muharram." (Narrated by: Muslim).

"This hadeeth narrated Ibn Abbas radi 'anhu: he said: Ibn Abbas radi' anhu was asked about fasting on the day of Ashura ', he replied: I never saw the Messenger sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam virtues of fasting day to figure that day on day-to-day other than on this day. So did (I never saw him) fasting month except this month, the month of Ramadan. " (Narrated by: Muslim).

At first the fast of Ashura is required by the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. And this is the habit of fasting Quraish in the time of Ignorance. But after Allah 'Azza wa Jalla ordered on the obligation of fasting month of Ramadan, the position of the fast of Ashura became fasting Sunnah.

"This hadeeth narrated Aisha radi 'anha, she said: It is the Quraish in the time of Ignorance always fasted on the day of Ashura' and the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam also fasted on that day. When he migrated to Medina, he still fasted on that day and told his companions to fast on that day. However, when required fasting month of Ramadan, he said: Those who want fast, then fasted and he who does not want to fast, then he should leave. " (Narrated by: Muslim).

Although the fast of Ashura is the sunnah of fasting, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam strongly recommend to every Muslims to run fast. Fasting Ashura (as well as the fasting of Ramadan and fasting, etc.) has several virtues. One of the virtues of fasting that has been mentioned above that Allah Almighty provides forgiveness and great reward to any of His servants who perform fasting. In addition, the primacy of other fasting is fasting as a shield (protective) themselves from all acts of sin. Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,

"Fasting is a shield, an armored servant with him from the Fire." (Narrated by: Ahmad).

Because once the primacy of fasting, let us as Muslims perform the Sunnah of fasting (fasting Ashura). And Allaah knows best.

If water used is not sufficient to perform ablution (purification) is perfect or even in a condition not identified a source of water in a dry place, then the Islamic shariah in order to perform thaharah ma'nawi, with tayamum.

Because the real Islam is a religion of ease. For Allah SWT always wants convenience to each of His servants. This is according to the word of Allah SWT,

"And He never makes for you in this religion a

narrowness ". (Surat al-Hajj: 78).

"Allah intends for you ease, and does not want trouble

you ". (QS: Al-Baqara: 185).

"So fear Allah and hear according kesanggupanmu

and obey ". (Surah Taghabun: 16).

Rasulullah SAW said,

"Verily this religion is easy".

"If I tell you with some business then do it

as much as you guys. "

Some postulate disyariatkannya ablution before prayer pilgrimage:

Word of God Almighty,

"O ye who believe, if you want to pray, wash your faces and your hands up to elbow, and Rub your heads and (wash) your feet to the ankles." (Surat al-Ma'idah: 6).

Narrated by Abu Hurairah ra that Rasulullah SAW said,

"God does not accept the prayer of one of you if he berhadats until he perform ablution." (Reported by: Syaikhani, Abu Dawud, and Tirmidhi).

Primacy Ablution:

From Abdullah al-Shunabihi ra, that the Prophet SAW said,

"If a servant of ablution, as she rinsed her mouth, out came his mistakes from his mouth. When he was cleaning the nose, out his mistakes from his nose. When he was washing face, get out his mistakes from his face to come out from the edge of his eyelids. When she wash hands, get out his mistakes from his hands to get out from under the nails his hand. When he rubbed his head, his mistakes out of his head to both ears. When he washed his legs, get out his mistakes from his feet to get out from under her toenails. Then, went to the mosque and his prayer as an additional reward. " (Reported by: Malik, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, and al-Hakim).

Nu'aim al-Mujmir radi 'anhu said, "I ride with Abu Hurairah to the top of the mosque. He perform ablution and said,' I've heard the Prophet said," Verily my Ummah on the Day of Judgement will be called in a state of brilliant white of the former ablution . Whoever is able to widen its white, then do it about it. "(Narrated by Bukhari).
