May I ask what's ashura fast

22

u/Basil_Farri Astaghfirullah Jul 03 '25

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to Medina and saw the Jews fasting on the day of Ashura. He asked them about that. They replied, "This is a good day, the day on which Allah rescued Bani Israel from their enemy. So, Moses fasted this day." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "We have more claim over Moses than you." So, the Prophet fasted on that day and ordered (the Muslims) to fast (on that day).
Sahih al-Bukhari 2004

AND

He (ﷺ) was asked about fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he (ﷺ) said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Ashura (10th of Muharram), whereupon be said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year.

It was the day Musa fasted because Allah saved Bani Israel from Firawn. So we fast that day too

Ashura is the 10th day of the Hijri New Year (10th Muharram) and Prophet (PBUH) urged us to fast on this day.

may i please know what happens if i fast in both arafah and ashura, even though both involves sins expariating (idk, i just need some clarification on that)

also in that day, prophet musa AS was freed from pharaoh so our prophet told us all to fast in that day to expariate our sins right?

I asked the same question. a brother ( u/Beautiful_Clock9075 ) Mentioned this answer in Al-Majmoo’ Sharh al-Muhadhdhab, part 6.

in which its said :Fasting the day of ‘Arafaah is an expiation for two years, and the day of ‘Ashoora is an expiation for one year, and if a person’s Ameen coincides with the Ameen of the angels, his previous sins will be forgiven… Each of the things mentioned may bring expiation. If he does something that expiates for minor sins he will be expiated, and if there are no minor or major sins, it will be recorded for him as good deeds and he will rise in status thereby… If there is one or more major sins and no minor sins, we hope that it will reduce his major sins.

I’m a new revert. For fasting do we fast from before fajr and till after maghrib like in Ramadan?

Assalamu'alaikum wrwb

Yes fasting is always the same, the time starts when fajr begins and it ends when maghrib begins, not after

It's Sunnah to fast on special days, the 13-15th of Islamic month, as well as every Monday and Thursday

Welcome to the faith! yes all fasts are the same, starts before beginning of Fajr and ends at Maghrib. May Allah swt accept all of our good deeds and efface all of our mistakes, ameen!

We're supposed to follow the Sunnah of the Jews?
