Q
Why did the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) emphasize fasting on the day of Ashura?
A
When the Prophet (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, he noticed that some people among the Jews used to respect
Ashura’ (i.e. 10th of Muharram) and fast on it. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, “We have more right to observe
fast on this day.” and ordered that fasting should be observed on it.
