The day of Ashura (10th of Muharram) is expected to be on Saturday, November the 24th. Fasting on the day of Ashura is recommended. Ibn ‘Abbas said: “I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so keen to fast any day and give it priority over any other than this day, the day of ‘Ashura’, and this month, meaning Ramadhan.” [Reported by al-Bukhari, 1867]
A community potluck iftar will be held at the Grand mosque on Waverly on the day of Ashura. We encourage all families to bring their iftar and share it will other members of the community.
