It marks the hijrah (emigration) of the Muslims to Medina and the beginning of the Islamic new year.It is a sacred month and is referred to as the month of Allah (SWT) for its significance among the months of the year.Muharram is one of the most significant times of the year for multiple religious and historical reasons: Muharram is celebrated as one of the four sacred months as ordained by Allah (SWT), and its title being ‘the month of Allah’ marks it as one of the most blessed in the Islamic calendar. This 2022 Islamic calendar is based on 12 lunar months, the sighting of a new moon determines the start of a new month.
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar (also known as the Lunar or Hijri calendar). “The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qi’dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab (of the tribe of) Mudar, which is between Jumada (Thani) and Shaban.” (Bukhari) In a hadith recorded by Imam Al-Bukhari, the four months were mentioned by name.
11th Muharram: Can fast for the additional recommended fast if one missed the 9th. 9th Muharram: Additional recommended fast for the day of Ashura. ” ĭuring this blessed month, the rewards for our good deeds are multiplied, and any wrongdoing is more serious. And know that Allah is with the righteous. And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them. “Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve months in the register of Allah the day He created the heavens and the earth of these, four are sacred. Muharram also holds a greater significance – we know from the holy Qur’an that Muharram is one of the four sacred months. Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar, and thus marks the start of the Islamic New Year. And the most virtuous Salat after the obligatory is the night prayer.” ( Tirmidhi) “A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said: ‘Which fasting is better after the month of Ramadan?’ He said: ‘ The month of Allah which is called Muharram.’” ( Ibn Majah)Īllah’s Messenger (PBUH) said: “ The most virtuous fasting after the month of Ramadan is that of Allah’s month of Al-Muharram. Not only is it a month decreed by Allah (SWT) as sacred, it is the first month of the Islamic calendar, marking the hijrah (emigration) of the Muslims to Medina and the establishment of the first Islamic state in 622CE. The month of Muharram is steeped in both religious and historical significance for Muslims. This sacred month is referred to in Hadith as the month of Allah (SWT), no other month is given such an honour. Muharram, however, seems to be a bit less well-known. Everybody knows that we fast in Ramadan, and many know about the sacrifice of Dhul Hijjah. 
There are 12 months in the Islamic calendar – but we tend to know more about some months than we do about others.
