The following benefit has been extracted from a khutbah delivered by Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) on the 19th of June 2026 at Germantown Masjid  and was posted on their SoundCloud account titled: The Month of Allah, al-Muharram: Lessons from the Life of Musa.

The following benefit highlights the fact that the fasting of the day of Ashūrā has no connection to the killing of Hussian ibn Ali (radiAllahu anhumma).
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
