முஹர்ரம் முதல் நாள்: ஆன்மீக ஆற்றலைப் புதுப்பித்துக் கொள்வது

27 June 2025

The month of Muharram marks the first chapter of the Islamic calendar. This is the only month in the Islamic calendar that the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. referred to as “شَهْرُ الله” – the “Month of Allah.”

The month of Muharram is that it is one of the four sacred months highly regarded in Islam. As such, Muslims are encouraged to begin the new Hijri year with acts of worship and righteous deeds.

Muharram is not merely a marker of the passage of time. It reminds us of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. and his Companions' hijrah from Makkah to Madinah. It was a journey that demanded sacrifices – in wealth, status, and emotion.
