Moses

Ashura is the tenth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. Sacred for its connection to Prophet Musa's deliverance and transformed by the martyrdom of Imam Husayn at Karbala in 680 CE, it is observed across all Islamic traditions.

Asiya bint Muzahim, wife of Pharaoh during Prophet Musa's time, is revered in Islam as a model of faith. She secretly embraced belief in Allah and chose martyrdom over renouncing it, and the Qur'an preserves her prayer for a house in Paradise.

Known as Harun in Arabic, Aaron was the brother and companion of Prophet Moses, blessed with eloquent speech and appointed as a prophet to assist Moses in his mission to Pharaoh and the Israelites.

Prophet Musa (Moses), the most frequently mentioned prophet in the Quran, was the liberator of the Israelites from Pharaoh's tyranny, the recipient of the Torah on Mount Sinai, and the prophet honoured as Kalim Allah — the one to whom God spoke directly.

Known as Shuaib in Arabic, he was a prophet sent to the people of Midian, calling them to worship Allah alone and practice honesty in their commercial dealings, later becoming the father-in-law and mentor of Moses.
