When does Ashura begin and end?
The day before Ashura, which falls on September 20 this year, Muslims observe the sacred day of Tasu’a, the ninth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Tasu’a marks the preparation of war before the death of Hussein by the armies of his rival Yazid.
