Muharram Mubarak Ho. 
Wishing you a very very Happy Islamic New Year (Hijri : 1436) 


The beloved of Allah ‘Muhammad’ (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) said: “The fasting of each and every day in Muharram is equal to the fasting for a month.” (Tabarani-fis-Saghir, V2, P87, Hadis 1580)

Muslims do fast during this day, because Musa (Moses) (alaihissalam) and his people obtained a victory over the Egyptian Pharaoh on the 10th day of Muharram; according to them Islamic prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam) asked Muslims to fast on this day, and also a day extra either before or after, so that they are not similar to Jews (since, according to him, Jews used to fast for one day due to the same reason).

Fasting differs among the Muslim groupings; mainstream Shia Muslims stop eating and drinking during sunlight hours and do not eat until late afternoon. Sunni Muslims also fast during Muharram for the first ten days of Muharram, just the tenth day or on both the ninth and tenth days; the exact term depending on the individual. Shia Muslims do so to replicate the sufferings of Husayn ibn Ali (Radi Allah’ Tala anhu) on the Day of Ashura.
