Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) joins Muslims here and across the world in observing the significance of the day of Ashura; 10th of the Muharram, or more specifically the 10th day of the Islamic month called Muharram, which incidentally falls on the 10th of September. This day is considered to be the holiest month after Ramadhan and one of the four sacred months in the Islamic calendar.
This day also bears significance to the Jews and Christians as it commemorates the day Noah left the Ark, and more significantly, the day that Moses and the Israelites were saved from Pharaoh by Almighty God creating a path in the Sea. For Shia Muslims, Ashura is a solemn day of mourning the martyrdom of Hussein in 680 AD at Karbala in modern-day Iraq. It must be noted that this day of mourning bears no real significance and does not represent the authentic traditions in Islam.
This day is marked by Muslims all over the world with two voluntary days of fasting. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) encouraged Muslims to fast on the 9th and 10th of Muharram because it is an expiation of sins of the preceding year.
Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is offering supplications on this auspicious day of Muharram, for Almighty God to deliver us as He has delivered Noah and Moses (May the Almighty God be pleased with them). May Almighty God save us from the grip of the heartless, gutless, criminals and the evil of our wretched rulers. May Almighty God bless us with health, wealth, peace and happiness, and abundance of all that is good and pure. Aameen.
Umar Abdullah
