But they're gonna prep you up.

Before Hajj, aren't they gonna give khutba before the first of Muharram? Across the world, people say the lessons of the Hijrah.

I do that all the time, too.

The same group does lessons of the Hijrah.

There was no, there was no calendar at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

It came at the time of Umar al-Khattab.

Is that a bid'ah that you're gonna remind people of the lessons of the Hijrah on the first of Muharram? So you see, if you open this door too much, you really do become pedantic to the point of dogmatism, right? And the same group that does say this is a major bid'ah or whatnot, they themselves fall into it on multiple instances.

But you'll find, لَذَّةُ الْإِبَادَةِ He says, the sweetness of the worship.

I have walked in the people's blood because that's part of the religion.

And I remember nine days in a row in the month of Muharram, from the first day of Muharram to Tarsuah, the ninth day, and then the most important day being the day of Ashura.

I beat myself so much.

I harmed my body so much.

Saladin makes the decision, the jurist delivers it.

On the 10th of September 1171, the 6th of Muharram, 567 by the Islamic calendar, al-Khubushani stands in the mosque in Cairo and proclaims the name of al-Mustadi, the Abbasid caliph in Baghdad, in place of al-Adid's.
