📌 The Day of Ashura: The Rafidah Mourn the Death of Pharaoh, Not Husayn. During these days, the mushrikin gather to openly display their hatred, resentment, and enmity toward Allah, His Messenger, and the believers. They do not commemorate this occasion because of the tragedy that occurred. Rather, they use it to raise their children upon shirk in Allah, kufr in Him, and enmity toward the Ahl al Bayt and their true followers from the people of Tawhid, who held firmly to the Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. In this clip, Shaykh Salih al Fawzan explains the true significance of the Day of Ashura according to the Quran and the authentic Sunnah. He clarifies that Ashura is a day of fasting, gratitude, and worship, commemorating Allah's victory for Musa and the believers over Pharaoh. The Shaykh also refutes the innovation of turning this legislated day into a day of mourning. He explains that the Muslims express joy, gratitude, and thankfulness to Allah while fasting in obedience to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. In contrast, the people of bidah transformed this day into a day of grief and mourning, thereby opposing the guidance of the Prophet ﷺ. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ Authentic and True — From the Scholars to You ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Ashura #Muharram #ImamHusayn #Karbala #Shia #AhlulBayt #Islam #Quran #Sunnah #Hadith #Tawheed #Aqeedah #Salafi #Salafiyyah #AhlusSunnah #AhlusSunnahWalJamaah #ManhajSalaf #IslamicCreed #UsulAlDeen #KitabAlTawhid #Fiqh #Shariah #SeekingKnowledge #SeekKnowledge #Ilm #Dawah #SalafiDawah #IslamicAdvice #IslamicReminder #IslamicReminders #IslamicGuidance #IslamicEducation #IslamicLecture #IslamicClips #IslamicShorts #Reminder #Knowledge #Truth #Guidance #Muslim #MuslimYouth #ScholarsOfIslam #ScholarsOfSunnah #IbnBaz #IbnUthaymeen #ShaykhFawzan #LajnahDaimah #Bidah #Shirk #Kufr #Iman #Refutation #Clarification
