MUHARRAM 2023

Muharram is an important day for Islamic believers. Muharram is also called Muharram-ul-Haram. The 10th day of Muharram, also known as Ashura or Mourning, will be observed on July 29 this year.

Muharram is the first month of the Hijri calendar and is one of the holiest months in the Islamic calendar. For the Muslim community around the world, it is considered to be the second holiest month after Ramzan. Muharram is one of four months—the other three being Dhu Al Qadah, Dhu Al Hijjah, and Rajab—that are considered sacred.

The Islamic New Year is the beginning of the new Muslim lunar calendar. It is also known as the Hijri New Year. The Islamic calendar is approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar. As the Islamic calendar consists of 12 months and 354 or 355 days.

Ashura is the day when Imam Hussein Ali, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad, was martyred. Muslims around the world can choose to fast on the day of Ashura, as the Prophet Mohammed did, hoping their sins of the past year will be forgiven. Both Shia and Sunni Muslims have different ways of observing Muharram.
