Ashura falls on the 10th of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. Ashura 2026 is expected on June 25, 2026. It is a day of great historical significance in Islam, and fasting on this day is a confirmed Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Ashura is historically significant as the day when Allah saved Prophet Musa (Moses, peace be upon him) and the Children of Israel from Pharaoh by parting the Red Sea. When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) arrived in Madinah and found the Jews fasting on this day, he said: "We are more deserving of Musa than you" and commanded the Muslims to fast. He later recommended fasting on the 9th and 10th (or the 10th and 11th) of Muharram to distinguish the Muslim practice.
