This is 10th day of Muharram called Aashoora (Arabic). There are multiple stories given for its importance to us. One that is obvious and is commemorated by Muslims especially the Shia, somewhat more extensively, is the Martyrdom of Hussain Ibn Ali Radiallahu Anhuma. But this is another one:
The Prophet SAWS in Madina found Jews fasting on that day so he enquired why did they fast. Apparantly he was told that because Musa AS fasted on that day as he and his people were saved from Phir'own so he was offering gratefulness to Allah. The prophet SAWS said that we have more right to be thankful because of Musa AS so we should also fast and he did on that day but he added that to distinguish it from Jews we as Muslims should fast 9th and 10 day both, These are therefore recommended fasts (Voluntary) for us.
The real Phir'own who stated when drwoning that he believes in Allah now is available for us all to see even today.(that photo, above, of his mummie described by Dr.Maurice Buccaile as the real person after thorough examination) Allah told him that He will not accept his Tawba at the dying time as it is too late but He would save his body for the posterity as a lesson (Ibrat) and that is what we have found the mummified body of that Phir'own Ramses.Here is the Qur'anic ref.: (S. Yunus, Ayat 90,91 and 92)
"And WE led the children of Israel across the sea; then Phiown and their hosts pursued them in rebellion and enmity, until when the drowning overtook him he said, "I believe that HE, there is no God but HE, in whom the children of Israel believe and I am of the Muslims". Now indeed! when thou hast rebelled afore and was of the corruptors. So this day WE deliver thee in thy body that thou mayest be a sign to those after thee. and verily many of mankind are of our signs heedless"
Thus spoke Allah the truth.
