Ashura

July 6

For Sunni Muslims, Ashura marks the parting of the Red Sea by Moses and the salvation of the Israelites. Also on this day, Noah disembarked from the Ark, God forgave Adam, and Joseph was released from prison, according to Sunni tradition. By contrast, for Shia Muslims, Ashura is a day of mourning commemorating the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the third Shia imam.
