It is believed that it commemorated the day when Prophet Musa (Moses) and the Children of Israel were saved from Pharaoh by the parting of the Red Sea. \nWhen Prophet Muhammad arrived in Medina after the Hijrah (migration from Mecca)\, he found the Jewish community observing a fast on the 10th of Muharram. He fasted on this day and encouraged Muslims to fast as well. Later\, he recommended adding a day before or after (9th or 11th) to distinguish the Islamic practice from that of the Jews. \nOn Ashura in the year 61 AH (October 10\, 680 CE)\, Imam Hussain ibn Ali\, the beloved grandson of Prophet Muhammad\, was martyred in Karbala (modern-day Iraq). He and about 72 companions\, including family members\, were killed by the army of Yazid ibn Muawiya\, the Umayyad ruler. \nImam Hussain refused to give allegiance to Yazid\, whom he considered unjust and corrupt. He stood for truth and the moral integrity of Islam\, even at the cost of his life. This event is a turning point in Islamic history\, particularly for Shia Muslims\, who commemorate Ashura as a day of grief and remembrance. \nSunni Muslims observe Ashura with voluntary fasting on the 10th of Muharram\, and optionally on the 9th or 11th\, while Shia Muslims commemorate the day with mourning processions\, poetry recitations\, and reenactments of the Battle of Karbala.
