Lesson 3 – Girls' Youth Club Reminders – Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell – ʿĀshūrāʾ and the Story of Mūsā

ʿĀshūrāʾ and the story of Mūsā, a reminder by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Firʿawn's tyranny over the Children of Isrāʾīl, and how Allāh protected the baby Mūsā in the river and in Firʿawn's own house

• Mūsā's duʿā that his brother Hārūn be made a prophet with him

• The magicians of Egypt, Mūsā's staff, and the magicians falling down in prostration: "We believe in the Lord of all creation"

• The parting of the sea: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord, He will guide me"

• Mūsā fasted the tenth of Muḥarram in gratitude, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "We have more right to Mūsā than you"

• Fasting the day before or after as well, and the hope that it expiates the sins of the previous year

• ʿĀshūrāʾ is a day of gratitude and worship, not a day of mourning
