Muharram

Muharram marks the start of the Islamic New Year and is the first month of the Hijri calendar. It’s one of four “sacred months” in Islam. The most significant day in Muharram is the 10th, known as Ashura.

Ashura is a solemn day of mourning, remembering the martyrdom of Imam Hussain ibn Ali (AS), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) in the Battle of Karbala.

Beyond its historical and religious observances, Muharram is a time for heightened spiritual reflection and good deeds for all Muslims.
