Fast of Aashura
The Messenger of Allah Muhammad [Peace be upon him] has exhorted and encouraged his Ummah to fast on the day of Ashura. He said:
"This fast[Aahura] is a compensation for the (minor) sins of the past year."(Hadith-Muslim)
Note: Fast either on the 9th and 10th or 10th and 11th Muharram. According to The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu-Alayhi-Wasallam) : "Observe the fast of Ashura and oppose the Jews. Fast a day before it or a day after."(Baihaqi)

"One who generously spends on his family on the day of Aashora, Allah will increase (his provision) for the whole year." (Hdith-Baihaqi)
