So off-base not yourselves in that and battle the agnostics all together as they battle all of you together. However, realize that Allah (SWT) is with the individual who limit themselves.”
There are portrayals in hadiths of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that tell that out of the four holy months referenced in this ayah, one is Muharram.
