Remember to fast tomorrow (Wednesday) and Thursday if you can. Prophet Muhammad SAWS said: “Fasting the day of `Ashura (is of great merits), I hope that Allah will accept it as an expiation for (the sins committed in) the previous year” (Muslim). Ibn `Abbas RA said: “I never saw Allah’s Messenger SAWS so keen to fast any day and give it priority over any other than this day, the day of `Ashura, and this month, meaning Ramadan” (Hadith: Al-Bukhari). After the hijrah when the Prophet SAWS came to Madinah, he found that the Jews of Madinah also used to observe this day with fasting. The Prophet SAWS asked them the reason of their fasting on this day. They said, “This is a blessed day. On this day Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemy (in Egypt) and so Prophet Musa fasted on this day giving thanks to Allah.” The Prophet SAWS said, “We have more claim to Musa than you.” He fasted on that day and commanded Muslims to fast on this day. (Hadith: Al-Bukhari)
