The Day of Ashura (10th of Muharram) is on Saturday (24th Nov).

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said regarding it:

"It is a great day when Allah saved Musa (As) & his people & drowned Pharaoh & his people".(Muslim)

"Fasting on it expiates the previous year of sins." (Muslim)

It is recommended to fast either the 9th & 10th (Fri & Sat) or the 10th & 11th (Sat & Sun) of Muharram to differ from the Jews & because the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) intended to fast the 9th & 10th.

So let us fast on both of these days and gain immense rewards as well as a years sins forgiven for surely we are in dire need of as many good deeds as possible before our imminent departure from this world which could be at any second.

The Historical Significance of ‘Ashura



Ibn Abbas (RA) reports that the Prophet (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Sallim) arrived in Madinah and found the Jews observing fast on the day of ‘Ashura… They said:"It is the day of great (significance) when Allah delivered Musa ('Alaihis-Salaam) and his people and drowned Pharoah and his people, and Musa ('Alaihis-Salaam) observed fast out of gratitude. And we also observe it." The Prophet (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) responded:"We have more right, and we have closer connection with Musa ('Alaihis-Salaam) than you have"; so Allah’s Messenger (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim) observed fast (on the day of ‘Ashura) and gave us orders to observe it. [Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]


May Allah enable us to benefit from fasting on these days and make us closer to him throughout the year. Ameen

Spending on ones family on the day of Ashura:

The Prophet (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said, “One who generously spends on his family on the day of ‘Āshūrā, Allāh will increase (his provision) for the whole year.” (Bayhaqī, at-Targhīb wat-Tarhīb)

This hadīth is not the most authentic according to the science of hadīth. However, some scholars of hadīth like Bayhaqī and Ibn Hibbān (Ra) have accepted it as reliable.*!

These are the only actions done on the day of Ashura which are supported by ahādīth.

Entire year of sins wiped out

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:Fasting the day of Ashura, I hope from Allah He will expiate or remove the sins of the year that came before. (Muslims)

The Scholars have explained that the sins that are expiated are the minor sins. So all of our good deeds, that is the salah, each obligatory prayer, fasting the month of Ramadhan, and so on, all of these expiate the minor sins.

So inshallah, for fasting one single day, ones whole year of sins is wiped away. So it is really an amazing blessing from Allah. It is something we cannot afford to miss out on for we May not be alive to benefit from such a good deed again as life is uncertain and on the day of judgement we will beg each other for a single good deed for we will all be short of good deeds on that day.

So Let Us grab all the good deeds we can now whilst we are still alive!
