When the Prophet (SAW) arrived in Madinah and found the Jews fasting this day in remembrance of Allah saving Prophet Musa (AS) and his people from Pharaoh, he said:
“We are closer to Musa than they are.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari)
And so, he fasted and encouraged us to fast too, teaching us that honouring the past is part of our faith.
In another narration, the Prophet SAW said about the 10th day of Muharram:
“Fasting the day of Ashura expiates the sins of the previous year.”
(Sahih Muslim)
WALLAHU A'LAM ..
