WHAT date is the Ashura fast? This question is often asked by Muslims who desperately want their sins of the past year to be forgiven by Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.
The Ashura fast is a highly recommended sunnah act of worship. Many Muslims ask each year what date to observe the Ashura fast so they don’t miss out on this highly virtuous deed.
The Ashura fast is observed on the 10th of Muharram in the Hijri calendar. In 2026, based on the estimated Hijri calendar in Indonesia, the 10th of Muharram 1448 AH falls on Thursday, June 25, 2026. Therefore, the Ashura fast can be observed on that date.

The word “Ashura” comes from Arabic and means “ten.” This fast is observed on the tenth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar.
Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wasallam strongly recommended fasting Ashura because it has great virtues. In a hadith narrated by Muslim, the Prophet said that the fast of Ashura could be the cause of the eradication of minor sins during the past year.
Don’t miss it. []
