day white
( Al-Ayyam al-bid)
"It was narrated that Abu Dharr said:" The Messenger of Allah said: "If you fast at some point during the month to be on 13, 14 and 15."
[hadith collected by Tirmidhi].
Comment:
The lunar Islamic calendar or Hijri , regulating various activities of the Muslim, on 13, 14 and 15 always coincide with the dates for the full moon phase denominated in the field of Islamic spirituality as' days white 'or ' ayyam to-bid ', in which, according to fiqh or Islamic jurisprudence, is advisable or mustahabb fast. For some Sufis, those days have enormous symbolic value, represented by the following mathematical operation. If you add up those numbers corresponding 'reverse', ie (13 +31) + (14 +41) + (15 +51), we get 165, which, according to the so-called Sufi science of letters' o 'ilm al-Huroof' is the numerical correspondence of the phrase 'La ilaha il Allah • the', 'There is no god but Allah', which condenses tawhid or oneness of God that is the fundamental insight of Islamic spirituality and the Sufis understand, mostly, while unity of being and existence. Therefore, the phase of the moon or badr for the Sufi is a propitious time to remember the immense value of tawhid through self-emptying which means fasting. Halil Bárcena
