I get to post about fasting

Asalamu alaikum

Sorry about the lateness of this post but alhamdulilah it's here. Musa is a year old know and he's running around and playing like he's a big kid. Everyone else is doing well, the school year is in effect and keeping us busy. I've been thinking about some of the mistakes I've made in the past and the ones I'm sure to make in the future. I reccomend that we all seek insurance against the unforseen to come. On that note, I humbly submit this haddith.

Abû Hafsah, may Allâh be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: "Fasting on the day of 'Arafah absolves the sins for two years: the previous year and the coming year, and fasting on 'ashûra, (the tenth day of Muharram) atones for the sins of previous years."
