Ashura

Ashura is expected to begin on Thursday, June 25, 2026 (Hijri: 10 Muharram 1448). Dates may vary by moon sighting.

There are 67 days until Ashura.

It has been 288 days since Ashura started.

Ashura falls on the 10th of Muharram (1st month). It commemorates the day Allah saved Prophet Musa (Moses) and the Children of Israel from Pharaoh. Fasting on this day is a Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) that is highly recommended.

Ashura is observed on 10 Muharram every Hijri year.

Islamic holidays are determined according to the Hijri lunar calendar. The beginning of each month is traditionally confirmed by the visual sighting of the new crescent moon (hilal) after sunset. Consequently, dates can vary by a day between different regions depending on visibility conditions and geographic location.

Not always. Moon sighting can differ by location, so the date can differ by a day. You can use the Hijri date adjustment setting in this app to align with your local calendar.
