BENEFIT 26: WHICH IS MORE VIRTUOUS; FASTING MONDAY OR THURSDAY?
If ever you are faced with the situation of having to choose between fasting Monday or Thursday, bear the following in mind:
Firstly: it is recommended to fast Mondays and Thursdays, because the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
“Deeds are presented (to Allāh) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be presented while I am fasting.” [Transmitted by Tirmidhi; authenticated by Sheikh Albānī in Saheeh al-Targheeb (1041)]
“On Mondays and Thursdays the gates of Jannah are opened and anyone who is has not committed Shirk will be forgiven except two who have abandoned one another, it will be said, 'Leave them both until they reconcile'". [Muslim]
Advice: Before this coming Monday, take the time to reconcile your differences and resolve any ongoing conflicts you have❗️
Secondly: Monday is more virtuous than Thursday because the Prophet ﷺ was born on Monday, he received revelation on Monday and he was commanded to convey the message on Monday.
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked about fasting on Mondays, whereupon he said, “On it, I was born, and on it, revelation was sent down to me.” [Muslim]
