Ashura

Ashura is a significant day in the Islamic calendar, observed primarily by Muslims. It falls on the 10th day of Muharram, the first month in the lunar calendar. For Sunni Muslims, it commemorates the day of fasting when Prophet Moses and the Israelites were saved from Pharaoh. For Shia Muslims, it marks the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, at the Battle of Karbala, symbolizing the struggle against tyranny and injustice. Observances vary, with Sunnis often fasting and Shias engaging in mourning rituals, reflecting deep spiritual and historical significance.
