Ashura is comm...Ashura<br />Main article: Day of Ashura<br /><br />Ashura is commemorated by Shi'a Muslims on the ninth and tenth days of Muharram on the Islamic Calendar. Ashura is an Arabic word meaning "ten", and according to Sunni schools of thought it is a day of optional fasting. Jews in the city of Madina fasted only one day, on Yom Kippur, the 10th of Tishrei; so the Prophet Muhammad would fast too, believing that Muslims are closer to Prophet Moses than the Jews themselves. According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad fasted along with the neighboring Jewish communities on this occasion, and according to narrations, Muhammad fasted on both the 9th and 10th of Muharram.<br /><br />By Islamic tradition, this day commemorates God saving Moses and the Israelites from Pharaoh in Egypt as they crossed the Red Sea (the Exodus day). According to Judaism, the Israelites left Egypt on the first day of Passover, and they crossed the Sea of Reeds seven days later on the 21st of Nisan, both of which are celebrated as holidays with meals.<br /><br />According to Shi'a tradition, 10 Muharram is also the day on which Muhammad's grandson, Husayn ibn Ali, was martyred in the Battle of Karbala. For Shi'a Muslims, this is a day of mourning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20631069.post-48364945497975730752010-01-11T11:03:29.488-05:002010-01-11T11:03:29.488-05:00Yom Kippur is not ashura.Yom Kippur is not ashura.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20631069.post-50711634268118114722010-01-11T11:03:01.079-05:002010-01-11T11:03:01.079-05:00Believe me I am a jew.

Ibn 'Abbas reported:
"T...Oh yes it does:<br /><br />Ibn 'Abbas reported:<br /><br />"The Prophet came to Madinah and found the Jews fasting on the day of 'Ashura. He said to them: 'What is this fast?' They said: 'A great day. Allah saved Moses and the tribes of Israel from their enemies on this day and therefore, Moses fasted on this day.' The Prophet said: 'We have more of a right to Moses than you,' so he fasted on that day also and ordered the people to fast on that day."
