The sacred month of Muharram brings with it one of the most beautiful days of the Islamic year: The Day of Ashura . This is the historic day Allah split the Red Sea and saved Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) and the Children of Israel from the tyranny of Firawn. When our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ arrived in Madinah and saw this day being honored, he reminded us that we have the ultimate right to celebrate Musa's victory. To help your family maximize this blessed time without the stress of planning, I’ve put together a quick, text-and-go resource guide. Below, you’ll find free child friendly resources and the authentic Hadith references behind the fast, the immense reward of catching this day, and why scholars recommend fasting the 9th, 10th, and 11th of Muharram.  Teaching the story of Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) is such an engaging experience for kids. His narrative is filled with adventure, miracles, and profound lessons on tawakkul (trusting Allah) and courage. A sweepi...
