The month of Muharram
It is the opening month of the Islamic year. This is one of the four months declared as sacred by Allah.
Its a month of mourning and sorrow. In this month on the tenth day ‘Ashura’ 61 A.H. (680 C.E.), Imam Husayn (pbuh) his family, relatives and companions were martyred. Majalis are held in this month to commemorate the tragedy of Karbala reminding us that the values of Islam taught by the Prophet (pbuh) must be maintained in their original form under all circumstances.
