[Imam-Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam International Hazrat Khalifatullah Munir A. Azim (aba) of Mauritius made a special address to the global Muslim community on the night of 18 August 2021~10 Muharram 1443 AH, elucidating on the sacred history and spiritual blessings of observing fasts on the days of the 'Ashura' in Muharram].
Read the Extracts from the Text of the Speech Below:
My dear disciples and Muslim brothers, sisters, and
children,
Assalamoualaikum Warahmatullah Wabarakatuhu.
By the Grace of Allah, this evening of Wednesday 18 August
is the start of the 10th day of the month of Muharram in this year
1443 Hijri - here in Mauritius, and will end on Thursday 19 August 2021 before
sunset, Insha-Allah. It is a very special day for Muslims around the
world.
The 10th day of Muharram is better known as
Ashura. Ashura comes from the term Ashr, which means 10
[ten] in the Arabic language. Ashura is the name which is given only to the 10th
day of Muharram because on this day many events took place in the history of
the prophets. Given the importance of this day, some unfortunately associated
it with inauthentic events, be it in Mauritius and abroad. Ashura makes us
primarily recall the martyrdom of Hazrat Hussein (ra), the grandson of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Karbala, in Iraq.
