Today is the ninth of Muharam and tomorrow is the tenth that commemorates many incidents. God saved his Prophet Moses from the tyrant pharaoh and his army on this day.
Then the Jews fasted on this day as thanks to God. When our prophet Mohammad, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Medinah, he found this fasting and he asked why? The Jews told him that they did this to thank The Almighty for saving their Prophet, Moses from that tyrant, Pharaoh.
The Prophet then said, "I am closer to my brother Moses than you" then he fasted on this day and it became Sunnah. From Quran Karim, Allah created twelve months, from them are four (hurum) forbidden. Three of them come consecutively, Thulgaaidah, Thulhijjah and Muharam. The fourth one, which is Rajab. The month of Rajab comes before Ramadan and after the month of Jumad Thani.
Fasting on this day forgives the sins of the previous year. A great opportunity to grab and wipe our sins of that previous year.
On this date, the son of Caliph Ali, Alhussein, (may Allah have peace with him) was sacrificed. Some people fasted on this day sadly. Others fasted on it happily.

Hi Dara,

Thanks sir Dara for your informative blog :D
Main Allah ka Rizig manta, Mr. Mishaikh, isli main bola eysa. Excuse my bad Urdu. I meant I wanted (thawab) reward from Allah. My wife reminded me on Friday after I came back from Jumaa prayer. I fasted on Saturday and today is the last. Thanks Mishaikh for liking and commenting on Ashura.
Muslims fast two days on 9 and 10 Muharram or 10 and 11 Muharram. Anyway 10th fasting is must if one wishes to fast. This Sunnah but not obligatory. Some exceptional cooking other than routine is Barak (blessed) for rizq (food) for the entire next year.
