Ashura holds significant historical and religious
importance in Islamic tradition as well as Dua of Ashura . It marks the 10th
day of Muharram Ul
Haram, the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The most
notable event associated with Ashura is the martyrdom of Imam Hussain ibn Ali,
the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, in the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD (61 AH).
On the Day of Ashura (10th Muharram), Allah (SWT) commands the Muslim Ummah to perform the very revered supplication known as Dua e Ashura. Among the several spiritual benefits of this strong prayer are those of asking for forgiveness, atonement, defence against enemies, and meeting of needs. Allah (SWT) is Ar-Rehman and Ar-Raheem. He bestows His mercy on those who obey His commands. If you recites or listens Dua e Ashura at anytime from sunrise to sunset on the Day of Ashura, then it is your life guarantee of the whole year and that he wouldn’t encounter death. And if your death was written in the year coming then, by coincidence, you won’t be able to recite them.
