SUMMARY:Lessons from Ashura (Post-Iftar Program) | Ustadh Tarif Arabi
DESCRIPTION:Join Ustadh Taref Arabi for spiritual insights about the significance of the Day of ‘Ashura from Hadith\, the significance of events that occurred after the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him)\, and what it means to the community today. \n9:15 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. | Tuesday\, July 16 | Conference Room | Join in person or virtually at mcceastbay.org/live \nFollowing the Prophetic tradition\, we encourage our community to fast on Tuesday\, July 16\, the day before or after (either Monday and Tuesday or Tuesday and Wednesday)\, insha’Allah. \nMaghrib on this day is at 8:31 p.m. RSVP for Iftar here: https://mcceastbay.org/fast-ashura \nFor more information about the Day of Ashura\, see https://seekersguidance.org/articles/the-day-of-ashura \n\n– More talks & sermons on Muharram: https://mcceastbay.org/muharram\n– For more information about the Day of Ashura\, see https://seekersguidance.org/articles/the-day-of-ashura\n– More Amu Taref: https://mcceastbay.org/taref\n\n  \nWhat is the Day of Ashura?\nAshura marks the day that God saved Moses and the Israelites from Pharaoh by creating a path in the Sea. It is the Islamic equivalent of Yom Kippur. \nIn Sunni Islam\, Ashura follows the traditions of Judaism with a day of fasting – commemorating the parting of the Red Sea for Moses and his followers to escape Pharaoh. \nThe Prophet Muhammad thought this tradition was worth following\, so he fasted and encouraged his followers to do the same. \nOn this day\, Muslims fast and celebrate by reflecting\, showing respect\, and thanks. \nIs fasting required?\nFasting is not compulsory during Ashura\, but some Muslims fast for one or two days. This is because the Prophet Muhammad was said to have fasted on the day of Ashura. \nWhen is Ashura 24?\nAshura falls on the tenth day of Muharram (the first month of the Islamic year) in the Muslim calendar – this year is Tuesday\, July 16. \nIn 2024\, the day is commemorated\, beginning on Monday evening and ending on Wednesday\, July 17. \nIslamic religious dates are tabular: they begin at sunset on the first evening and end at sunset on the second evening. The date changes each year as the calendar used by Muslims – the Hijri calendar – is ten to 12 days shorter than the Gregorian. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\nMore talks & sermons on Muharram: https://mcceastbay.org/muharram\n\nThe month of Muharram is considered unique by all Muslims and is one of the four sacred months of the year\, which brings with it the day of Ashura\, or the “Tenth day” of the month when fasting is recommended (with or without the addition of a day prior or after). \nFollowing the Prophetic tradition\, MCC invites all East Bay residents to fast on the day of Ashura\, which starts on the evening of Monday\, July 15\, and ends on Tuesday\, July 16. \nThe first is the Hijrah\, the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD. This birth of a pluralistic Muslim community marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar and serves as the critical turning point for the first Muslims and the future of Islam. The Hijrah also marks the beginning of a new chapter for humanity\, where freedom of faith and justice for all became the cardinal principles of the newly founded society and a model for us to aspire to. \nThe other two historical events occurred on the 10th day of Muharram\, called Ashura. \nAfter completing the migration to Medina\, the Prophet he witnessed the Jews of Medina fasting to celebrate the victory of Prophet Musa (PBUH) and his people over the Egyptian Pharaoh. Prophet Muhammad then asked his companions to join this fasting tradition to thank Allah for saving Musa and his people. \nOn the same day\, just six decades later\, the Prophet’s grandson Husayn ibn Ali was martyred in the Battle of Karbala. This was one of the saddest and most heartbreaking events in the history of Islam\, which we continue to mourn today. \nAs we commemorate Ashura for Prophet Musa and Imam Husayn\, we are called to re-commit to our struggle against all forms of tyranny and oppression and to seek liberty and justice for all. \nFollowing the tradition of Prophet Muhammad\, MCC invites you all to fast on the day of Ashura. Let us use this day to continue the practice of our beloved Prophet and pray for the unity of our Ummah (community). \nQuestion? events@mcceastbay.org
