Today is the 1st day of Muharam (Islamic month) and beginning of the Muslim New Year 1436.
I pray that this new year bring everyone success and hopefully we can see peace in the world especially in the middle east.

Muharram is one of the four sacred Months out of twelve. The other being ZiQad, ZilHajj and Rajab. These four months have been sacred since the creation of universe - as told by Allah Subhana Wa Tala in the Quran.

Ashura is the 10th day of Muharram.

Fasting on the 10th Muharram i.e. Ashura was obligatory on the Muslims before the fasts of Ramadan were made obligatory.

*Fasting on the 10th of Muharram expiates the sins of the previous year.
*Musa (as) and the Bani Israel were saved from the Pharaoh by the parting of the sea on 10th Muharram.

*Prophet Musa (Moses) as a sign of gratitute to Allah used to fast on the day of Ashura and Jews did the same.
