Ashura Day Activities

(Al-Jami Al-Sagheer Vol. 4 p. 215) Fasting on the day of Ashura was part of the Holy Prophet's normal routine, and he used to fast on that day with special arrangements.
A holy hadith mentions four habits of the Prophet (peace be upon him) which he never gave up. There is also fasting for one day of Ashura in these four routines. Tradition has it that Hazrat Hafsa (RA) said that there were four things that the Prophet (PBUH) never gave up.

Day of Ashura and incident of Karbala
The day of Ashura, the tenth day of the month of Muharram, has a completely different aspect, in contrast to the above qualities. What a strange coincidence that on the same day Imam Hussain, the youngest grandson of the master of the universe was martyred in the field of Karbala. The Prophet (PBUH) once said in a very kind tone "Hasan and Hussain are like two fragrant flowers to me".
What is the matter of this Chamistan Inayat, Riza?
Poison is the bud in which beauty and beauty blossom
Hazrat Hussain was martyred on the 10th of Muharram in 60 Hijri, more or less 50 years after the death of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The soil given by the Prophet turned into blood inside the vial (bottle). Tirmizi Sharif in Volume II states that on the 10th day of Ashura (Ashura day), a woman came to Madinah Sharif to serve Hazrat Umm Salama. He saw that Hazrat Umm Salama was in love.
Radiyallahu Anha reported that they had just seen in a dream that the head and beard of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) were covered with blessed dust. I asked, O Messenger of Allah, what is the matter? So he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "I am just coming from Karbala. Mir Hussain was martyred today."
Hazrat Umm al-Munain (RA) said that he remembered the soil that Hazrat Jibreel Amin brought from the field of Karbala and gave it to the Prophet (PBUH) at the time of the birth of Hazrat Hussain (RA). He gave me that soil and said, "O Umm Salma, keep it with you, because the day my Hussain is martyred, this soil will also turn into blood." ,
Today, I saw that the soil which was kept closed in the vial has turned into blood. After all, how was that man of God who, being helpless and helper, did not bow his head before the false rulers, he accepted martyrdom with great courage, just remained attached to his Lord and after that, he set an example for the coming Ummah. False powers and tyrannical powers are not there because any member of the Muslim Ummah fears them and is ready to bow down to them or accept them.
It should be the duty of every member of the Muslim Ummah that he should fight against every lie and try only for the upliftment of truth and prostrate before the creator of the universe. We should enrich ourselves with this clear message from the incident of Karbala and not spend this historically auspicious day as a farce. Because this day is associated with a person whose sacrifice invites the people of the religion of Islam to mourn and mourn, rather this day encourages them to be firm and firm on the principles of their lifestyle and to have faith and belief in the existence of Allah. Gives a lesson
Keep presenting the great capital of life, the spirit of sacrifice and hope, because in this lies the secret of success and prosperity. We pray to Almighty Allah to give us and all Muslims the right thoughts and right thoughts about the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (RA) on the day of Ashura and Iqa Karbala, Ameen! And may we sinners be established on the right path and the path of self-control. so be it!
