Asalam alaykom brothers I hope you are all doing good.
This is my first post here so I hope some one can help me with this.
As we know the prophet peace be upon him ordered us to fast ashurah according to the hadith based on the fact that Musa AS was saved along with bani Israel on this day. But Jews have been celebrating this event for the last 3000 years on passover holiday which starts on the 14th day of the first month in their calender. Now I know that the hebrew calender differs from our calender, but still the passover always starts on full moon so according to their tradition in cant be on the 10th. Also, thet dont fast at all at passover. On the other hand they have a holiday on the 10th of their first month which is a very important holiday called yim kibbor I think where they fast, but it has nothing to do with the exodus.
Another problem is, if the 2 calenders are different (which they are), how come the 10th muharamm of that year that the prophet ordered it was the same as the 10 muharram from the time of the exodus and both coincide with jewish calender? How can we explain this?
Jazakum Allahu Khairan.
