Here in this post, we have provided you with many things like the significance of the Islamic New Year and the celebration. Here are the major points to know about the Islamic New Year.
Date of Hijri New Year
The first day on which the Hijri new year and also the month of Moharram begins is named as Al-Hijra. Every year this date changes on the Gregorian calendar which is the most commonly adopted calendar to which Americans and most of the world adheres to. The Islamic calendar is totally based on a 30-year cycle which consists of 11 leap years of 355 days 19 years of just 354 days as compared to the 365 and 366 days year of the Gregorian Calendar. Last year the day was observed on September 21 but this year the celebration will fall on 11th September.
Celebration of the Islamic New Year
All Muslims make new resolutions on this day and shares their best wishes with their loved ones. This is in the same way as we do at the start of the Gregorian new year on January 1st.
There is one more thing to focus on this day and that says the celebration is majorly different for both the sections of Islam Shiites and Sunnis.
Shiites Celebration
Shiites celebrate first 10 days with mourning on the slaying of the first cousin of Prophet Ali Mohammad and his only grandson Hussein Ibn Ali, who they see as the rightful caliphs to succeed their prophet. This killing which took place on 680 C.E. has marked the historic split between Shiites and Sunnis. This year they will experience 10 days mourning and fasting. Finally, they will experience a holiday called Ashoura.
Sunnis Celebration
For all Sunnis, the celebration is a low key one. On this day they go to the mosque with their family and prays for the good life and celebrate the new year with immense gratitude. The places where the majority of Muslims live will be observed as a public holiday.
When did this Hijri Calendar start?
Although Arab tribes used a related calendar before the Prophet Mohammed, thus the new Hijri Calendar was retrospectively started which was based on the year 622 C.E.
