Ashura is the 10th of Muharram. The Prophet ๏ทบ fasted on it and said it expiates the sins of the previous year (Sahih Muslim). He also intended to fast the 9th, so many Muslims fast the 9th and 10th.
For Shia Muslims, Ashura is the day of mourning for Husayn ibn Ali, martyred at Karbala in 61 AH.
Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia and the countdown runs on Makkah time (UTC+3). Where the month begins with a local sighting of the crescent, the date may be one day later.
