To fast on the day of ‘Asyura is the highlight of the month of Muharram. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) observed fasting on this day to express his gratitude to Allah, hence, we Muslims should too.
Take note that it is permissible to fast on the day of ‘Asyura only, but it is better to fast a day before OR after as this is a sunnah act.
Fasting of ‘Asyura can be on the 9th and 10th of Muharram (15th and 16th December 2010) OR 10th and 11th of Muharram (16th and 17th December 2010).
Did you know that the reward of fasting of the day of ‘Asyura is an expiation (deletion) of sins for the year before? Masyallah!
