Ashura Program

Please join us Live as we commemorate the blessed Day of ‘Ashūrā, the 10th of Muharram. The program will begin at 7:30pm and consist of invocations and a reflection regarding the significance of this blessed day. The program will conclude with du’a.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “For fasting the Day of ‘Ashūrā, I anticipate that Allah will expiate the previous year’s sins.” [Muslim]

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be well pleased with him) also narrates, “When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted the Day of ‘Ashūrā and called for others to fast that day, someone said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, this is a day revered by the Jews and Christians.’ He replied, ‘In the next year, in shā’ Allah, we will also fast on the ninth day.’” [Muslim] Therefore, it is recommended to fast on the 9th and 10th of Muharram (or, alternatively, the 10th and 11th).

In addition to fasting the Day of ‘Ashūrā, the Prophet ﷺ also recommended that one should be generous in spending on one’s family and give them one’s time and attention.

We ask Allah ﷻ to grant us the best of this Day of ‘Ashūrā and to make it a day of blessings, relief, and elevation for the entire Umma.
