Ashūra

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

 السلام عليكم

So... you know it's recommended to fast Ashūra, but do you know WHY Muslims fast Ashūra?

This is a poster that was shared on one of the Whatsapp groups Ummi has joined. Ashūra is special to me, as my very first fast that I fasted was on Ashūra. On Ummi's blog post, it says I was 4 years and 3 months. Here is the link!

I also found some links.
https://www.abukhadeejah.com/story-of-musa-birth-struggles-miracles-victory-pharaoh-ashura/
This one is a most interesting story of Musa, and of course, it has a point about Ashūra.
https://www.salafisounds.com/the-month-of-muharram-and-story-of-musa-by-hasan-somali/
This is another interesting audio of the story of Musa.
https://www.salafisounds.com/muharram-and-the-day-of-ashoorah-khutbah-by-abu-idrees/
This is a Khutbah and it speaks about Muharram and the day of Ashūra.
https://www.troid.org/ibadah/knowledge/2441-why-did-umar-ibn-al-khattab-select-the-month-of-muharram-to-start-the-islamic-calendar
And this, the most interesting of all, is a short blog post telling us why Umar bin Al-Khattab selected Muharram to start the Islaamic Calendar.


So that's my short post today,
Maimoonah
