What is the Day of Ashura?

Ashura marks the day that Moses and the Israelites were saved from Pharaoh by God creating a path in the Sea and is the Islamic equivalent to Yom Kippur.

In 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.

The Prophet Muhammad thought this tradition was worth following, so he fasted and encouraged his followers to do the same.

On this day, Muslims fast and celebrate by reflecting, showing respect, and thanks.

Is fasting required?

Fasting 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.

When is Ashura 23?

Ashura falls on the tenth day of Muharram (the first month of the Islamic year) in the Muslim calendar – this year is Friday, July 28.

In 2023, the day is commemorated, beginning on Sunday evening and ending on Friday, July 28.

Islamic 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.

More talks & sermons on Muharram: https://mcceastbay.org/muharram

The 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).

Following the Prophetic tradition, MCC invites all East Bay residents to fast on the day of Ashura, which starts on the evening of Thursday, July 28, and during the day of Friday, July 29.

The 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.

The other two historical events took place on the 10th day of Muharram, called Ashura.

After completing the migration to Medina, the Prophet 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 express gratitude to Allah for saving Musa and his people.

On 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.

As 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.

Following the Prophet Muhammad tradition, MCC invites you all to fast on the day of Ashura. Let us take this day to continue the practice of our beloved Prophet and pray for the unity of our Ummah (community).

Monday – Friday, July 24 – July 28 | 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. | Register required at mcceastbay.org/youth-intensive

About the book

A dramatic exposition of the classical Muslim division of human life into five stages: before conception, life in the world, life in the grave, the resurrection, and heaven or hell. Extensive Qur’anic and Hadith references explain the condition of the soul at each stage.Based on the Qu’ran and Hadith, in this fascinating book, Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through several “lives:” before conception, life in the world, life in the grave, the Resurrection, and finally, the Garden or the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life.

What happens after Death? Who are “Munkar and Nakir?” What will Heaven and Hell be like? What signs should we expect before the day of Judgement? Who is the Dajjal? When will the Mahdi appear?

These and many other questions are answered, on the basis of the Qu’ran and Hadith, in this fascinating book. Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through the “lives:” before conception, life in the world, life in the grave, the Resurrection, and finally, the Garden of the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life.

About the author

Imam Abdallah Ibn-Alawi Al-Haddad lived in Tarim in the Hadramant Valley between Yemen and Oman and is widely held to have been the ‘renewer’ of the twelfth Islamic century. He was a noted authority on the Shafi’i school of jurisprudence and a writer on devotional matters, both in poetry and prose. His works have been translated into many languages. Imam al-Haddad died in 1132 A.H., having spent his life bringing people to their Lord through his oral and written teaching and his exemplary life. He was buried in a simple grave in the cemetery at Tarim.

A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life.

What happens after Death? Who are “Munkar and Nakir?” What will Heaven and Hell be like? What signs should we expect before the day of Judgement? Who is the Dajjal? When will the Mahdi appear?

These and many other questions are answered, on the basis of the Qu’ran and Hadith, in this fascinating book. Imam al-Haddad explains that every human being passes through the “lives:” before conception, life in the world, life in the grave, the Resurrection, and finally, the Garden of the Fire. A complete Muslim must be aware of each of these if he is to be sufficiently prepared for eternal life.

About the author

Imam Abdallah Ibn-Alawi Al-Haddad lived in Tarim in the Hadramant Valley between Yemen and Oman, and is widely held to have been the ‘renewer’ of twelfth Islamic century. He was a noted authority on the Shafi’i school of jurisprudence, and a writer on devotional matters, both in poetry and prose. His works have been translated into many languages. Imam al-Haddad died in 1132 A.H. having spent his life bringing people to their Lord through his oral and written teaching, and his exemplary life. He was buried in a simple grave in the cemetary at Tarim.

Questions? refugee@mcceastbay.orgUstadh Feraidoon Mojadedi is one of Bay Area- California’s most well-known and respected community leaders, lecturers, and entrepreneurs. He was born in Herat, Afghanistan, and immigrated with his family to America during the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in 1985. After graduating from American High School and Chabot College, he attended San Francisco State University, where he majored in history.

He grew up in a household with a deep love and reverence for poetry. At age five, he began memorizing poems by Rumi and other great poets. His love of poetry continued to grow and eventually developed into a passion and calling that would allow him to teach regular classes on Rumi throughout California, the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, Malaysia, Germany, and even as far as Konya, Turkey, where Mawlana Rumi is laid to rest. The nuances of the Farsi language, in which he is fluent, allow him the unique ability to bring Rumi’s poetry to life and to help listeners recognize Rumi’s essential message of peace, love, coexistence, and connection with the Divine. He is the author and performer of the “Layla & Majnun” a play produced by Performing Lines in Perth, Australia.

Ustadh Feraidoon spends his free time reading, studying, and lecturing on many topics, including Rumi and a comprehensive collection of Farsi poetry, spirituality, and self-development. He currently lives with his wife and two children in Dublin, California.

"Islamicate Impressionism" | Artist Safia Latif
2023-07-22 12:00 - 13:00
Join us for an afternoon exploring breathtaking and inspiring Islamic art with artist Safia Latif, unraveling their meanings and how she is using art to recreate Islamic narrative.

12 p.m. to 1 p.m. | Saturday, July 22 | Conference Room | Join in person or watch live at mcceastbay.org/live | Free; no registration requiredSafia Latif is an oil painter based in California. Her work creatively reimagines Islamic narratives and concepts using visible brushwork and an emphasis on light and color. Latif has pioneered the practice of “Islamicate Impressionism,” a novel style that is recognizably painterly and conceptually draws on the social and cultural phenomena associated with the Muslim world from Morocco to Indonesia. Latif’s work emerges as a departure from traditional Islamic art known for hyperdetailed miniature paintings and calligraphic and arabesque designs. Instead, she focuses on visual sensations of Islamic themes, highlighting the inherently cosmopolitan nature of Islam and conveying a sense of wonder and beauty.

Latif earned an MA in Middle Eastern Studies and began a Ph.D. in religion, focusing on the notion of piety as a form of social capital for Muslim women in the medieval world. Though she enjoyed academia, she was always drawn to art and decided instead to use her knowledge of Islamic history to inform a meaningful body of work. Her paintings reflect a personal openness to faith, likely owing to her diasporic background as the daughter of an American Russian Jewish convert to Islam and a Pakistani Muslim immigrant.
