Muharram | A Sacred Month That Begins The Islamic Year
Muharram is the first month in the Islamic calendar.
There are four sacred months
“Surely, the number of months according to Allah is twelve (as written) in the Book of Allah on the day He created the heavens and the Earth, of which there are Four Sacred Months. That is the right faith”.
Reference : (At-Tawbah 9:36)
Muharram is one of the four sacred months
Narrated by Abu Bakrah: The Prophet (May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said.
“The division of time has turned to its original form which was current when Allah created the Heavens and the Earths. The year is of twelve months, out of which four months are sacred: Three are in succession Dhul-Qa’ dah, Dhul-Hijjah and Muharram, and (the fourth is) Rajab of (the tribe of) Mudar which comes between Jumadi-ath-Thaniyah and Sha’ban.”
