Ashura before Islam:
Ashura was observed in Arab society before Islam. They used to fast on this day and respected this day. Before the Islamic period, some religious rituals between Jews and Christians were also associated with this day.

Ashura after Islam:
The significance of Ashura in the history of Islam is:

1. Fasting after the Hijrat : After the emigration of Muhammad (PBUH) in Madinah, he found that the Jews were celebrating this day. When he asked their reasons, it was learned that on this day Musa and his followers were relieved of Pharaoh's persecution. Remembering this incident, the Jews celebrate this day. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "We are more entitled to Musa." From then on, fasting on this day has been determined as circumcision for Muslims.

2. Karbala incident : On the day of Ashura, Imam Hussein (RA), the grandson of Muhammad (PBUH), was martyred in the battle of Karbala. This event is celebrated as a deep mourning day for the Muslim world. This day is especially celebrated among Shiite Muslims, and they celebrate various mourning and mourning in remembrance of Imam Hussein.

Ashura's significance:
The day of Ashura is important for Muslims religious, historically and mentally. It is the day of gratitude to Allah on the one hand, and on the other the struggle is a symbol of struggle in the path of truth. It is recommended that the fasting of Ashura is circumcised and it should be fast another day or before or after another.

Understanding the significance of Ashura and learning its education, Muslims were encouraged to guide their lives in the way of Allah.
