November 15, 2012 to December 13, 2012
It’s an over the moon moment for the Muslims to see the moon rise for the Islamic New Year or for the commencement of the Holy Month because it promises the moon and gives hope for all those who have cried for the moon. Muharram brings the sense of pietistic recall with regard to the remembrance of the Hussein ibn Ali – the grandson of Mohammad. Sects of Islamic people mourn for Hussein who has been martyred.
Muslims fast on the day of Muharram. The amazing fact is that “The tenth day” of Muharram is considered to be Holy even for the Jews and the Christians. 10th day is called the Day of Ashura in which Prophet Musa (Moses) delivered the People from the captivity of Pharaoh Egypt. Muslim friends fast the day before and the day after of the day of Ashura just to be more deliberate than the Jews and Christians who also fast on the same day. Muharram is observed throughout India.
The Shias, Sunnis, Dawoodi Bohras all observe Muharram; they all memorialize the death of Hussein ibn Ali and his family at the Battle of Karbala. It is envisaged that the world will be got done on the 10th day (ashura Friday). The 10th is so auspicious that the earth, paradise and the whole universe is created on that day.
Prophets regarded on this day: Prophet Adam, Prophet Ibrahim, Prophet Musa, Prophet Issa, Prophet Nooha, Prophet Yunus and the Prophet Yakoob.
