The beginning of chronology or the era(see Old Russian (Byzantine) system of chronology) in the Muslim calendar is the date of the expulsion of Mohammed from Mecca to Medina, or Hidzhry ( Hegiræ). Therefore, for example, the month of Ramadan, whose name in Arabic means "to burn", may happen in the winter. However, in 631 AD, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden to add these days and the Muslim year became strictly lunar. Generally speaking, earlier, in pre-Islamic times, the Arabs used a solar-lunar calendar, and there was a 13 month, who introduced an amendment to the solar year so that the month remained tied to the seasons. Since the calendar is based on the moon and the lunar year is shorter than the solar year, the month is not tied to the seasons, and each year they are shifting for about 11 days relative to the solar calendar. Thus, the average length of the year will be approximately equal to 354.366(6) days, and the month will be equal to 29.5305(5) days, which is much closer to the length of the synodic month. Thus, every 30 years contains 19 normal years of 354 days and 11 leap years of 355 days. Leap years follow a 30-year cycle and fall on the 2, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 18, 21, 24, 26, and 29 years of the cycle. Without the introduction of leap years, the average duration of the year's months would be strictly 29.5 days, which would give us a big error.
The last month consists of 29 days, and during a leap year is extended to 30 days. The well-known Gregorian calendar is solar, but the Muslim calendar is lunar.Ī year in the Muslim calendar consists of 12 months, which alternate between 30 and 29 days.

During this period, they mourn the death of Prophet Muhammad’s grandson, Husayn Ibn Ali al-Hussein, who died at the Battle of Karbala in 680 AD.Traditionally, here is some information(I've actually discovered all this just now). To commemorate the day, many countries, including United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia declare a public holiday.Īlong with this, the first 10 days of holy Muharram are extremely important for the muslim community, especially the Shia Muslims.
Though the day holds significant importance, no big celebrations are held in Muslim-majority nations. Hujri 1443 AH signifies that it has been 1443 years since Prophet Mohammed’s migration. The upcoming year will be considered as Hijri 1443 AH (In Latin, AH means Anno Hegirae or the year of the Hijra). Significance of Islamic New YearĪs per the Islamic Mythology, the Islamic New Year began in 622 AD with the migration of Prophet Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Medina. So, August 9 was the last of the Islamic year- 1442 AH and the 30th day of Zul-Hijjah, the committee said. Muharram marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year or the Hijri New Year.
The moon-sighting committee of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said that the first day of Muharram 1443 AH (Anno Hegirae in Latin) will be on Tuesday, August 10, 2021. According to the Ummul Qura calendar (Hijri calendar), August 9 is the first day of Muharram 1443. The crescent moon, which marks the beginning of the new Islamic year-1443 AH, was not been seen in Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening. This year, the Hijri New Year is slated to commence on today, August 10. The Islamic New year commences with Muharram, which is considered as the second holiest month after Ramadan, and ends with Dhul al-Hijjah, as the name suggests it is the month in which devotees go for Hajj. As compared to the Gregorian calendar, it is roughly 11 days shorter. Also known as Hijri New Year, the Islamic calendar has 354 or 355 days. The Islamic New Year marks the beginning of the new Muslim lunar calendar.
