Pesach (Passover) is when Jews remember the Exodus from Egypt (Exodus ch.12).

It is important to us since in it we relive the Exodus from Egypt and our birth as a nation, both of which were preparations for receiving the Torah from God.

The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal. This meal is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, chapter Arvei Pesachim).

The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, observe in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.

Does Islam celebrate the Passover?

Answer 1Yes, Muslims observe Passover and fast it. They call it "Yum Ashura'a".Answer 2Muslims do believe in the events of the Passover and believe the event to be the Divine salvation of the Jewish people at that time. However, Muslims do not celebrate the Passover Seder in any way and do not have the restricted eating habits or holiday requirements that traditionally define Passover.A note on Answer 1: Yom Ashura has absolutely nothing to do with Passover, except it partially being a commemoration of the Exodus, and has no connection to Judaism (in terms of its religious character). In terms of historical origin and general activity it is much more similar to the Jewish Yom Kippur although the fast of Yom Ashura would be considered an unhappy fast whereas Yom Kippur is a happy fast.
