It, otherwise called Muharram-ul-Haram, is the primary month of the Hijri schedule and in this manner denotes the start of the Islamic year. It is the main month which Allah’s name has been connected to – the Prophet Muhammad (saw) alluded to it as ‘the Sacred Month of Allah’ – and is along these lines a profoundly honored month.

It is one of the four holy months, and its unique significance is shown by its name. The word ‘Muharram’ actually signifies ‘prohibited’ – for example it is holy to such an extent that specific activities become illegal during it, as they would abuse its sacredness. Both the long stretch of the Muharram and Allah’s House (Al-Masjid Al-Haram) get their names from a similar Arabic root word; both are hallowed spaces in which each deed, fortunate or unfortunate, weighs heavier on the scales.

Why Is Muharam Celebrate ?

The 10th of Muharram is called Ashura, is a important day for Muslims. It marks the Hazrat Nuh left the ARK, and the day that Prophet Musa was saved from the Pharoh of Egypt by God crossing the Red Sea.

Significance of Muharram

‘Surely, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He made the sky and the earth; of these, four are holy. That is simply the right religion, so don’t off-base yourselves during them… ‘ (Qur’an, 9:36)

As to section, Ibn Katheer (RH) clarifies, ‘Allah has picked elites from His creation: from among the heavenly attendants. He picked Messengers, from among humanity. He picked Messengers, from among discourse. He picked recognition of Him (dhikr), from among spaces on earth. He picked the mosques, from among the months. He picked Ramadan and the hallowed month. So, love what has been picked by Allah, for individuals of comprehension and shrewdness regard what has been picked by Him’. (Tafseer Ibn Katheer)

Consequently, It is exceptional essentially in light of the fact that Allah has picked it to be so. He orders us not to ‘wrong ourselves’ during this holy month, which basically intends to guarantee we have unadulterated expectations and exemplary conduct and don’t fall into wrongdoing.
