Why Is Muharram ul Haram Celebrated?
The tenth day of Muharram ul Haram is known as Ashura. It is an important day for all Muslims. This day marks the day Prophet Nuh left the Ark, and the day that Allah saved Prophet Musa from the Pharaoh of Egypt, crossing the Sea with his group. Shia and Sunni Muslims mark Mourning of Muharram differently.
For a lot of Sunni Muslims, this month is the start of the New Islamic Year and symbolizes reflection and peace. For the Shia Muslims, this month symbolizes a reflective, solemn day in Islamic history.
For Shia Muslims, Muharram ul Haram commemorates the martyrdom of the Hussain Ibn Ali who was the grandson of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). After questioning the caliph Yazid’s legitimacy, Hussein Ibn Ali was martyred during the Karbala Battle, which happened on the day of Ashura in 680 AD. Because of the brutality of the combat and the murder of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) grandson in a month when combating is forbidden, a lot of Shia grieve and remember the bravery and courage of the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) family.

- The Prophet Musa (AS) as gratitude to Allah accustomed to fast on the 10th day of Muharram and Jews did no different.
- The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) on hearing the fast of the Prophet Muss also ordered all the Muslims to fast on 10th Maharram, and himself did same.

Some Misconceptions About Ashura:
A few people think that:
- The Prophet Adam (AS) was created on this day.
- Allah Almighty accepted the Prophet Adam’s (AS) repentance on this day.
- The Prophet Ibrahim (AS) was born on this day.
- Qayamat or doomsday will occur on this day. (we know from hadiths that Qayamat will come on Friday, but doesn’t state which month).
- Whoever baths on this day will never get sick.
All of the above are some fallacies based on some false traditions.
- This day is an unlucky or evil month (because of the Karbala battle).
- Marriages ought to not be held in this month.
This fallacy can simply be removed by this fact that on the same day Hussain (RA) was martyred, and years ago the Prophet Musa (AS) as and his people were saved by Allah Almighty from Pharaoh, which is why the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) observed fast on the day of Ashura and ordered other Muslims to do no different. The day can’t be unlucky and lucky simultaneously.
