The reason of the name `Ashura'





The reason of the name `Ashura'

The first question of Fatwa no. 6951
Q 1: why is the 10th of Muharram called the Day of ‘Ashura’?
A: Because it is the tenth day [‘Ashura’ means tenth in Arabic. ed.], just as the ninth day is called Tasu‘a’.
(Part No. 26; Page No. 412)
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, his family, and Companions!
