ஆஷூரா : ததப்புரின் கண்ணாடியில்

26 June 2026

Human beings are prone to forgetting Allah, as well as His blessings and various forms of help, once hardship and trials have passed. People then begin to be deceived by their own greatness, assuming that everything they possess is the result of their own efforts, when in truth every blessing comes from Allah s.w.t.

The Day of Asyura reminds us of the event in which Allah saved Prophet Musa a.s. and the Children of Israel from Fir’aun’s tyranny. When the Prophet s.a.w. saw the Jewish people fasting on that day, he asked them the reason for it. They explained that it was the day Allah granted victory to Prophet Musa a.s. and his people. The Prophet s.a.w. then said that which means: 

“I have more right to Musa than you.” So the Prophet s.a.w. fasted on the Day of Asyura and instructed to fast on that day. (Al-Bukhari).

Based on the tadabbur of verse 6 of Surah Ibrahim that we have been discussing, there are two lessons we can apply in our lives: 

  1. Expressing gratitude beyond mere words on the lips. 

  2. Cultivating compassion towards the burdens and trials of others.
