ஆஷூரா: உண்மையைப் பற்றிப் பிடிப்பதும் அடக்குமுறையை வெற்றிகொள்வதும்

4 July 2025

A hadith narrated by Imam Muslim, the Prophet s.a.w. said which means: "I hope from Allah that it (fasting on the Day of Asyura) will expiate the sins of the previous year."

Imam Asy-Syafi’i also narrated that Ibn Abbas r.a. said: "Differentiate (our practice) from that of the Jews; fast on the ninth and tenth day." 

There are a few important lessons we can take as guidance when reflecting on the story of Prophet Musa a.s.: 

First: Stop oppression, whether it is committed by others or inflicted upon oneself. 

Second: Uphold truth with wisdom in every situation.
