Ashura (Islam)
for Shite Muslims Ashura (Muharram) has special importance. It commemorates the martyrdom of Husain, Prophet Muhammad's grandson, in AH 61 (680 CE). Observed 10 days from the first of the month of Ashura, the event is a time of great mourning. For Sunni Muslims, Ashura is a time to remember two of Allah's merciful acts: Noah's safe landing after the Flood and the Israelites liberation from Egypt under Moses.
