Ashoura Social Designs

Ashoura is a significant Islamic observance commemorated on the 10th day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. For Sunni Muslims, it marks the day Prophet Moses and the Israelites were saved from Pharaoh, often observed with fasting and gratitude. For Shia Muslims, it primarily honors the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, in the Battle of Karbala (680 AD) – a profound symbol of sacrifice and justice. Mourning processions, recitations, and charitable acts characterize this solemn day, fostering reflection on faith, resilience, and social justice across Muslim communities worldwide.
