Ashura Insights: Historical Perspectives and Present Lessons

The day of Ashura, observed on the 10th of Muharram in the Islamic calendar, encapsulates two historical events with lessons for today. It marked the day Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) saved Prophet Musa (alayhi salaam) and the Children of Israel from Pharaoh's oppression, demonstrating the ultimate triumph of faith over tyranny. Centuries later, this very day bore witness to the heart-wrenching sacrifice of Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), in the plains of Karbala. As we reflect on these significant events, the lessons resonate with our present times: the importance of steadfastness in the face of adversity, the virtues of sacrifice, and the enduring message of standing firm for one's beliefs. Join the sheik as he illuminates these insights from Ashura, helping us navigate our challenges in today's ever-evolving world with dignity, courage, and Islamic belief.

Islam has given us a road map to navigate through our lives in order to succeed both in Dunya and Akhirah. We must always abide by the hukm sharai’(devine rule) in all aspects of our lives. One of the principal objectives in our commitment to this website is to provide tools from the authentic sources of Islam (Qur’an & Sunnah) to develop our Islamic Personality. Maintaining the correct Islamic Personality is vital for a Muslim to be able to avoid deviation from the right path stay strong on the path that seeks pleasure from Allah (سبحانه و تعالى ). Secondly, as Muslims living in our communities, we interact with non-Muslims on a daily basis whether at work, university, school or in society at large.
