Ashura: An Important Day for Sunnis & Shiites | Dr. Shabir Ally 

Dear friends, please support us financially at quranspeaks.com or by etransfer to igive@quranspeaks.com Thank you, and my God bless you and your loved ones always!

I was blessed to hear that you are trying to bring a reconciliation between the Sunnis and Shiites. In Christianity we have many divisions as well from many who are not called to preach or teach and yield themselves to whatever profits them instead of seeking to glorify Jesus. Although we differ in faith I enjoy your videos and the way in which you minister your faith to bring a unity. I can only hope that among Christianity they too will return unto a unity of the faith and Spirit as written. Your teachings are a blessing from an outsider who merely enjoys learning more about your faith and what you believe. May God bless.

"Now that I have become a grandfather, I cannot imagine people who love me as an Islamic preacher would go out of their way to harm my grandchildren" Beautiful words and understanding and explaining the words of the Prophet Muhammad ص on a very personal level!!!

Your kind words, your tolerance & openness to other ideas is so sorely needed in today's world. May Allah bless you & your family for your good works.

the rope of allah is the quran and the family of the prophet (s). this is what the prophet (s) said at ghadeer. those who stick to these two will never go astray

I do not want to say anything negative about Shia Muslims, but I want to remind us that as Muslims, we follow the Quran and the traditions of our Prophet (peace be upon him). May Allah guide us to the right path. I would like to request that we refrain from insulting the Prophet (peace be upon him), his companions, his wives, or any other Muslims or non-Muslims in a negative manner. This is considered haram (forbidden) and serves no purpose.

You are a nice man, Dr. Shabir

Hold on to the rope of God and do not be divided...Takbeer!!

Zainab was Hazrat Hussen's sister, not the daughter of the Exalted Messenger [as].

There you go, that final thought was just perfect

Dr Shabir is my favourite Islamic scholar Mashallah. He is so inspiring.

Very good topic. Dr Shabir your beard looks better when it's full from below your lips. Little higher looks much better and I'm sure it's also the sunnah method. This new way doesn't look too good.

Beautifully said

Beautiful information. Jazakumullaho khairan. I think the host is the daughter of the guest as they share the same surnames. Ma Sha Allah

Why dont we Sunnis mourn for the Prophet's family on Ashura? Isnt it our responsibility to display our love to them?

All my respect to sheikh dr. Shabir who's heart is full of light. And of course to dr. Safina Ally for her open mind and pointed questions. Very beautiful dialogue.

The sheikh is wonderful masha Allah ,but let's also give credit to the sister she gives the sheikh time and she is perfect anchor

Really very nice message. ❤️

Love your videos ❤️

Salaam ya hussain a.s

Thank you for this informative video.

JAZAKALLAH KHAIR

Much respect to Dr Shabir Ally!

With due respect to Dr. Sabbir Ali, I was expecting a little more elaboration on the Character of Muabia, because , he took the shelter of hipocracy in the battle of Sippin, He did breach the agreement that was made between him and Imama Hasan/Hossain and appointed Yazid. Question to you, What would be your side if were alive at the time of the battle of Karbala? Would you be On Yazid side or, Imam Hossain's side or, Kharazi's side?

The Jews were not delivered from Pharaoh on the 10th day of the month, but on the first day of the month. The Jewish festival that is on the 10th day of the month is Yom Kippur or the day of atonement. And that day is in the 7th month.

Looks like he glued the beard😂😂

Those hadiths claiming that the prophet fasted on the day of Ashura are false. The Prophet (SAWW) did not follow or perform any traditions. Unless that of which Allah (SWT) has commanded. Do not diminsh The Prophet of Allah with these weak ahadiths.

Hebrew usage? Ashura, from ashara, in Arabic meaning 10

Ashura is a major day for all Muslims that the holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) grandson Husayn(as) was slaughtered for having stood up for truth & justice against oppression & tyranny with alot of his family against Yazeed. Please do not underestimate this sacrifice as it was done for the sake of Allah(swt) to Keep the holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) Islam from being hijacked from it's Prophetic authenticity. This truly is a universal message that unfortunately a lot of Muslims & other people tend to ignore or merely overlook sadly hence not truly benefitting from it's divine spiritual essence. However by disacknowledging Ashura, I feel would be a real source of displeasure & disrespect to the sanctity & pure love that the holy Prophet Muhammad(saw) had held in high esteem for both his grandsons & grand-daughters.

Thank you, i have a question: why remorsing hussien death and not the prophet death or Ali? The prophet only can can ask for forgiveness for an individual at judgment day, not hussin or Ali, so what is the point for remorsing

Helpful to listen care-fully to a recent series of lectures delivered in Muharram 2024 by Dr Sayed Ammar Nakshawani in order to learn more comprehensively about the Day of Ashura and its significance for all of humanity.

I have a question if anyone can answer it will be greatly appreciated. If we have 13 lunar cycles in 365 day year, why is Islamic calander 12 months same as gregorian?

Love the showwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Much respect

The hadith refer to the fasting has weak narration and does not make sense, 1. since when do we imitate the Jewish? 2. the hadith says when the prophet went to maddina. So it was in his first year. However, at the end of hadith it says if I lived to the next year, and then there is no mention of the prophet fasting that day again (the prophet stayed in maddina 11 years), so how can this be?

MashaAllah MashaAllah

There can never be reconciliation between a group that reviles the sahaba and the mothers of the believers as the Shia do.

Im Maliki Sunni and i dont respect Mu3awiyya and no he wasnt a close companion he was one of the least close to the prophet SAWS and Malik RA brings narrations of Mu3awiyya always disagreeing with the closer companions like Umar RA or Sa'id ibn al Musayyab RA on rulings. Mu3awiyya always had weird and harsher rulings for no reason. And he shouldnt have chose his tyrant son to be Caliph that is against what Malik mentioned that we dont respect those who strive to keep power within themselves rather than allocating power justly. Many Malikis might disagree with me but thats what makes sense to me clearly. I dont respect him.

Aashura was long before karbala. Karbala just happened to take place in muharram. The fadeelat of aashura is fasting because of what prophet muhamed said regarding moosa a.s. There is no fadeelat of karbala besides mourning the prophets family. But not linked to fasting

It's the Shias who deviated and left the path of Muhammad SAW, that's Sunnah. Unless and until the Shias come back to the right path, then forget about reconciliation.

Did Yazids army fast on Ashura? Were they all Kafir? Did they not know this Hadeeth?

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا Indeed, those who abuse Allah and His Messenger - Allah has cursed them in this world and the Hereafter and prepared for them a humiliating punishment. Its clear that White washing being done to belittle the sacrifice of Imam Hussain

One should ask this what called sheikh, is it permissible to look at that woman face and make interview with her?

So Muhammad had to find out from Jews that moses freed them on that day and then he made it a holiday? What if he didn't run into the Jews that day, would he not have added it as a holiday

Donf forget the tragedy of Karbala

You literally can't hate this man.

Please stop using the term “Sunni” we are Muslims. Prophet Muhammad PBUH didn’t call himself a sunni, neither should we. We are Muslim and only Muslim

Muawiyah was known for cursing Imam Ali A.S. and he fought him in Battle of Siffeen. He broke the peace treaty of Imam Hasaan A.S. by appointing Yazid as his successor.

I don't believe, the prophet Mohammed (S) learned from jews. As a prophet he was revealed by Allah about all prophet history, for example in surah kahf he the prophet Mohammed (S) explained the history of kahf youths, Khodar (khilr (as) , dhulkarnain etc. Hence I feel it's not acceptable that the greatest prophet learned from jews.???

nice video. but please don't reduce imam hussain's story to politics. he set out to reform the ummah of his grandfather (s) and those who massacred him are on the wrong side of history, period. that's what happens when u blindly accept those in power.

Is it true that there are 73 sects in Muslim. Please tell me Dr Sabir.

Mauviya is not a respected Companion. His father Abu Sufyan was an enemy of the Prophet. After Makkah was conquered he became a Muslim of convenience and the Prophet married his daughter to build bridges with old enemies. Mauviya refused to give allegiance to Ali and fought the battle of Siffin with him. Yazid was the son of Mauviya who massacred not only Hussein but many other grandchildren and great grandchildren of the Prophet including two sons of Zainab his granddaughter and sister of Hussein. We must know our history and resist Ummaiyyad propaganda which created this myth of the fast of Ashura by inventing fake Hadith.

Im a 7th Day Adventist Christian. Heres a few line of reasonings to consider using in order to win over to the truth in Christ Jesus. 1. The character/prophets of the bible and the prophets in islam that are the same such as adam,eve, enoch,noah, moses, king david and so on. Because islam does not give us the full story of their life or tell us how they came to be ask our muslim friend can the lineage in the bible be trusted. 2. Secondly the common prophets/characters in islam often have a partial life story or none at all such as enoch. Then ask can the bible be trusted to let us know who enoch is or let us know who the other prophet is who name is only found else where beside the quran or the holy bible. The line of reasoning is to build confidence in the validity of the bible and not to dispute. 3. Because the life of moses is incomplete in the quran and does not explain about the tabernacle in the wilderness, the feast days, pass over or day of atonement. Ask if the bible can be trusted to understand what those things were about and what they stood for. If the bible is to be trusted to understand the prophets of the quran or to know who there parents are or to know their full life story. Does the validity of the bible have weight. This is just a few small examples using a line of reasoning to bring a believer in the quran to the attention of the accuracy and validity of the bible. The purpose and goal is to show the truth in love and not in vain disputing.

Why do Muslims have any right to Moses? He came after Ishmael. There is no relation to Moses and Muslims.

stop the cap

But the Shias say that the rope is the ahulbayt...and not God....

Assalamualaikum The story of Hussain (pbuh) beheading sounds too much the same of Taliban back then, Killing non Talibam Muslims. That Taliban Terrorist culture of beheading clean hearted faithful Muslims seems all too familiar today in Afghanistan 🇦🇫. Walaikum a Salam.

We don’t need your sympathy from you, I mean the daughter of dr Bashir, I truly believe she is monafegh, yes I am Shia and grand children of fatemah and Ali peace be upon him. I had a dream about prophet Mohammed and another dream about hazrat Fatemah.I truly believe in their mission, also they showed me some miracles too . Both. So I think I am Muslim like every Muslim. I think hazrat amom Husain willing sacrifice himself and all of his family and his friends for the sake of justice. Abousofyan and his son and yazdi were monafegh. Prophet Mohammed knew it completely. So for the god sake and prophet Mohammed never use the name of his grandson amom Husain.

What has muslims to do with Moses or Abraham ? They are the prophets for the Jwish community. Your religion starts with only mohammed. So do not confuse Jews and christians with your wrong teachings. Islam is not a semitic religion like Judaism or Christianity nor it has anything in common with them. To get legitimacy for your pagan 7th century Arab religion you bring in all such false and concocted stories and the connection with the semitic religions.
