Peace be upon you, my dear brothers and sisters. Tomorrow, Thursday, is the Day of Ashura. Our Prophet peace be upon him said: "Fasting on the Day of Ashura, I hope to God that it expiates the sins of the previous year."
It is recommended for those who fast to also fast a day before or after it. However, there is no dislike in fasting Ashura alone; there is no issue if you fast it by itself.
Do not let habits like smoking or other commitments cause you to miss this great reward. Postpone your gatherings and meetings if they conflict with fasting, and inform others that you are doing so for the sake of Ashura. By doing this, you will gain the reward of honoring it in the eyes of people, in addition to the reward of fasting itself.
Sisters who are excused from fasting due to a valid reason, you can still earn the reward of fasting by encouraging others to fast. Whoever guides others to good will have a reward similar to the doer of that good deed.
