Respect your traditions and customs; Be open minded; Adapt if needed; Fast optionally if you wish

Before Islam, the Quraish tribe used to fast on the day of Ashurah as a sign of respect and remembrance. When Prophet Muhammad arrived in Medina, he continued this practice and commanded others to do so as well. However, when fasting during Ramadan was made obligatory, fasting on Ashurah became optional for those who wished to do so. This hadith teaches us that we should be respectful towards our traditions and customs while also being open minded enough to accept change if it is beneficial for us or society at large. It also shows us that we should not be too rigid with our beliefs but instead be flexible enough to adapt if needed.
