About Ashura

Ashura (10 Muharram) is one of the holiest days in the Islamic calendar. It commemorates Allah saving Prophet Musa (Moses) and his followers, and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recommended Muslims to fast this day in gratitude. It is also a day of major historical events for Muslim communities.

Ashura marks Allah's deliverance of Prophet Musa (a.s.) and his people from Pharaoh.
Fasting on Ashura wipes out the sins of the past year as taught by the Prophet ﷺ.
It is Sunnah to fast an extra day (either the 9th or 11th Muharram) to distinguish from other traditions.
Ashura is a moment of gratitude for Allah’s blessings and for reflecting on lessons of faith, patience, and renewal.
