The first day of Muharram is honoured as Hijri New Year’s Day, and the dates shift annually. This year, it takes place from July 29 to July 30. The Arabic New Year or the Islamic New Year are other names for it. The Islamic New Year does not fall on the same day as the Gregorian calendar’s New Year because of the discrepancy between the Islamic lunar year and the Gregorian calendar’s solar year.
Muslims all throughout the world commemorate the Islamic New Year on Hijri New Year’s Day. Every year, and even internationally, the date of this event is subject to change. While many Islamic institutions and nations use an astronomical calculation, some Islamic groups celebrate the day using local moon sightings.
This incident occurred in the seventh century A.D., a time when Muslims unhappily experienced religious discrimination. The decision to travel to Medina by the Prophet Muhammad and his companions is known as the Hijra. This historic occasion, which sought Muslim rights, is revered as sacrosanct.
The first day of Muharram, a holy month of remembrance for Muslims everywhere, is also traditionally when this day is observed. It is the anniversary of Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, passing away. Many Shia Muslims participate in a “matam” procession, during which males gather in the streets and engage in a ritualistic chest-beating exercise, as well as mourning rituals, to mark this. Sunni Muslims celebrate Muharram as a time for reflection and prayer to bring in the new year.
For Muslims around the world, this entire month, beginning with the Hijri New Year’s Day and the holy month of Muharram, is important. By studying more about the religion and conversing with your Muslim friends, you may participate in this celebration. Deepen your understanding of a religion that seeks to foster peace by learning more about it.
