Ashura Aid
In our religion, Ashura is considered an expression of sharing and love, a symbol of abundance and fertility. If small and small provisions are bought on the day of Ashura, there will be abundance in the house for a year. At least ten Muslims are greeted once or one Muslim is greeted ten times. The poor are made happy. Those who do ghusl on the day of 'Ashûrâ will not have any minor illness for a year.
Virtue of Ashura Day
Our Prophet (s.a.w.) said, "Whoever is generous to his children on the day of 'Ashoora, Allâhu ta'âlâ will give him ample sustenance for the whole year."
Sufyân al-Sawrî (r.a.) (v. 161), one of the greats of the Tâbiîn, said, "We practiced this for fifty years, and we saw nothing but the breadth of sustenance."
