When to Read Ashura Ki Dua | 10 Muharram Ashura Ki Dua
The 10 Muharram Ashura Ki Dua should be recited on the Day of Ashura the 10th of Muharram. The best times to read it are:
- After Fajr (morning prayer) — starting the sacred day with remembrance of Allah.
- Any time during the day — from sunrise to before sunset.
- Before Maghrib — closing the day with sincere dua.
It can be read alone or in a family gathering. Many scholars recommend reciting it with full focus, understanding its meaning, and making it from the heart.
How to Read Ashura Ki Dua – Recommended Method
To make the most of Youm e Ashura Ki Dua, follow these simple steps:
- Perform Wudu (ablution) and sit in a clean place, facing the Qiblah.
- Begin with Durood Shareef — send salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ.
- Recite the Ashura Ki Dua in Arabic with sincerity and focus.
- Read the meaning in your preferred language Hindi, Urdu, or English to connect deeply.
- End with a personal dua — ask Allah ﷻ for whatever is in your heart.
- Fast on the 9th and 10th of Muharram if possible, as this is an established Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
Fasting on Ashura — The Sunnah
One of the most important acts on this day is fasting. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself fasted on the Day of Ashura when he arrived in Madinah and found that the Jews were fasting in gratitude for Prophet Musa’s (AS) deliverance.
He ﷺ said:
“Fasting on the Day of Ashura, I hope Allah will expiate thereby the sins of the year before.” (Sahih Muslim)
To follow the Sunnah fully, it is recommended to fast on both the 9th and 10th of Muharram (or the 10th and 11th) to differ from others who fast only on the 10th.
Reciting Ashura Ki Dua alongside fasting multiplies the barakah of this blessed day.
Benefits of Ashura Ki Dua
The Ashura Ki Dua in Arabic and its recitation on the Day of Ashura carry deep spiritual rewards. These include:

4. Good Life and Blessed Death The dua asks Allah ﷻ for a hayatan tayyibah a clean and wholesome life — and to be taken from this world in a state of complete faith (iman) and Islam.
5. Blessings for the Whole Year Many Muslim scholars note that devoting yourself to worship, dua, and fasting on this day brings ongoing blessings throughout the year.
