Please join us at Al-Maqasid as we commemorate the blessed Day of 'Ashura, the 10th of Muharram. Al-Maqasid will be observing 'Ashura on Thursday, June 25th, 2026. The program will begin at 7:30 PM and consist of dhikr and a reflection regarding the significance of this blessed day. The program will conclude with du'a and a community potluck iftar after Maghrib.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “For fasting the Day of ‘Ashūrā, I anticipate that Allah will expiate the previous year’s sins.” [Muslim]
It is highly recommended to give life to the eve of ‘Ashūrā in order to receive divine assistance and the outpouring of Allah’s beneficence. This can be done through reciting the Quran and reciting Prophetic supplications and invocations.
In addition to fasting the Day of ‘Ashūrā, the Prophet ﷺ also recommended that one should be generous in spending on one’s family and also give them one’s time and attention.
We ask Allah ﷻ to grant us the best of this Day of ‘Ashūrā and to make it a day of blessings, relief, and elevation for the entire Umma.
