Ashura

Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Madinah and saw the Jews fasting on the day of ‘Ashura’. He said, ‘What is this?’ They said, ‘This is a righteous day, it is the day when Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemies, so Musa fasted on this day.’ He said, ‘We have more right to Musa than you,’ so he fasted on that day and commanded [the Muslims] to fast on that day.” [Reported by al-Bukhari, 1865] “

By fasting on the day of Ashura, it means that you’re grabbing hold of an opportunity to have your minor sins from the previous year forgiven.

How will Your Ummah be saved?
How will Your family be saved?
How will You be saved?
Bani Israel was saved when they followed Musa (A.S).
You will be saved if you follow Muhammad (SAW).

*To confirm the day of Ashura, be sure to follow the authority you prescribe to in your city or locale.
