10 Muharram 1434 A.H.
When the Prophet came to Madina, he found the Jews fasting on the day of Ashura (i.e. 10th of Muharram). They used to say: "This is a great day on which Allah saved Moses and drowned the folk of Pharaoh. Moses observed the fast on this day, as a sign of gratitude to Allah." The Prophet said, "I am closer to Moses than they." So, he observed the fast (
on that day) and ordered the Muslims to fast on it. - Bukhari
It is very important to remind Muslims at this time of the year the clear blessings that fasting on the day of Ashura - has in Islam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Fasting the day of Ashura (is of great merits), I hope that Allah will accept it as an expiation for (the sins committed in) the previous year" (Muslim).
Also, fasting the 9th of Muharram is a highly recommended Sunnah. Imam At-Tirmidhi reported that Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: We should fast on two days: the 9th and 10th of Muharram to distinguish ourselves from the Jewish community. (At-Tirmidhi)
It is, therefore, the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to fast on the 9th and 10th of Muharram.
