Ashura (Arabic: عاشوراء‎ ) marks the day that Shi'a Muslims believe Husayn, the grandson of Muhammad, was martyred. For Sunni Muslims, it marks the day that Moses was saved from the Pharaoh's tyranny.

On Ashura, we remember the historical struggles against tyranny, and pray for those striving against the tyrants of today. https://t.co/2rrLBWdGqQ

Fasting the day of Ashura expiates the minor sins for the past year. This is a great gift and bounty that Allah bestows upon us, whereby fasting one day expiates for the sins of a whole year. The Prophet ﷺ used to be very keen to make sure he fasted on the Day of Ashura.

Statement by @AMBA_legal regarding the killing of four Shi’a Muslim men on different days in Albuquerque, NM. Although there is no immediate threat, AMBA is recommending Shia mosques increase security at Ashura programs. https://t.co/76FI8zfaAC

Day of Ashura Hussain called out “Hal min nasir yan sur na” is there anyone to help me? “ the call was from the grandson of Prophet of Islam about whom PBUH instructed “If this son of mine ever needs help, respond & help. Companions present in Yazid’s army ignored Imam’s call 😭 https://t.co/YqgyPY3k9l

Fasting on the day of Ashura will never make sense to me yaani fasting is a sign of peace and happiness; Yazid fasted on the day of Ashura to celebrate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein and his family and Sunnis just… fast? To erase their sins? Wallah hell is hot https://t.co/VHwR6vLvuU

As Muslim communities in New Mexico mark the end of Ashura, I want our communities in Albuquerque and across the nation to know that we stand in solidarity with our Muslim neighbors. You have a fundamental right to feel safe. We are with you.

The Day of Ashura commemorates Allah freeing the Prophet Moses and the Children of Israel from the Pharaoh of Egypt. We hope this day of fasting and self-reflection comes with increased blessings for each person participating. #dayofashura #Ashura https://t.co/r5d2sbDWvw

Ashura softens hearts and strengthens resolve. Veils are lifted, paths become clear, and love is understood by lamenting Imam Hussain ع.
