Follow Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad PBUH , Obey Allah's commands and prohibitions .

In the pre-islamic period, Quraish used to fast on the day of 'Ashurah'. When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Makkah to Madinah, he continued fasting on this day as well. Later when Allah revealed that Muslims should fast during Ramadan every year, it became optional for them whether they want to keep fasting on 'Ashurah or not. This hadith teaches us that we should follow what our beloved Prophet did and try our best to practice his Sunnah even if it is not compulsory anymore. We should also remember that Allah has given us a great blessing by prescribing us with a month full of blessings - Ramadan - where we can get closer to Him through worshiping Him more than usual days.
