**Abu Qatadah (ra) reported that our beloved Prophet (sal'Allahu alayhi wa alihi wassalem) said,"Fast the Day of Ashura, for indeed, I anticipate that Allah will forgive [the sins of] the year before it." (Tirmidhi)
Ashura also marks the martyrdom of Sayyidina Husayn (as), the grandson of our beloved Prophet (sal'Allahu alayhi wa alihi wassalem). We encourage taking time to reflect on his life of standing for Truth, defending justice, and sacrificing for a greater cause.
May Allah bless you all, amin.**
