History of Hijri New Year:<\/h3>\n

The Islamic New Year<\/a> is also called the Hijri New Year or Arabic New Year. The first day of the Islamic year is observed by Muslims on the first day of the month of Muharram. When the Prophet Muhammad emigrated from Mecca to Medina, The first Islamic year began in AD 622. The 10th day of Muharram, called the Day of Ashura, is considered most important by Shia and Sunni Muslims. Shia Muslims observe it as a day of mourning to commemorate the death of the Prophet Mohammad’s grandson, Hussayn Ibn Ali. According to legends, Imam Hussayn once objected to caliph Yazid’s legitimacy and revolted against him. The objection not only led to Karbala’s battle and the beheading of the revolutionary leader but also the imprisonment of his family on the day of Ashura in 680 AD. Sunni Muslims believe that on the 10th day of Muharram the religious leader Moses led Israel through the Red Sea and got victory over the Egyptian Pharaoh and his army of war chariots. There is another belief that God created Adam and Eve on the 10th day of this holy month. It is an Islamic memorial day for the Muslims Religion in the world.<\/p>\n
