According to historical traditions, Ashura has been observed with respect even before the time of Islam. Some earlier communities, including followers of previous prophets, recognized the importance of this day and observed fasting. One well-known historical event connected with Ashura is the deliverance of Prophet Musa (AS) and the destruction of Pharaoh and his army when they were overtaken by the sea.
In Islamic history, the day of Ashura gained even greater significance after the tragic events of Karbala. Approximately sixty years after the passing of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), his beloved grandson Imam Hussain (AS), along with his companions and family members, was martyred in the land of Karbala. This event became one of the most profound and emotional moments in the history of Islam.
The book explains how the tragedy of Karbala left a deep impact on the hearts of Muslims around the world. The courage, sacrifice, and steadfastness shown by Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions are remembered as powerful examples of standing for justice and truth in the face of oppression.
Overall, Ashura provides readers with a historical overview of the importance of this day and the events associated with it. The book encourages reflection on the lessons of faith, patience, and moral courage that continue to inspire people through the remembrance of Ashura.
