About this day
The night that runs from the ninth of Muharram into the tenth is Shab-e-Ashura. Because the Islamic day begins at maghrib, it is attended on the evening of Tasua and not on the evening of the tenth. Night observances are easy to read a day late, so read this one as an evening rather than a full day.
