First Month of Islamic Calendar:
Muharram is the month with which the Muslims begin their lunar (Hijri) Calendar.
It is one of the four sanctified months about which the Holy Quran Says (what means):
(Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He
created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred)[Quran 9: 36]
Fasting During the Month:
On the contrary, each fast during this month has merit.The Noble Prophet(PBUH)said:"The best fasts after the fasts of Ramadan are those of the month of Muharram."
The Day of Ashura:
They said: “This is a righteous day, it is the day when Allah saved the Children of Israel from their enemies, so Musa fasted on this day.”
Extra careful about "SINS":
Due to its sacredness, any bad deeds done during the sacred months are WORSE than in other months.
Do Extra "GOOD DEEDS"on this Month:
Similarly, good deeds during this month bring a greater reward than in other months.
Importance of Ashura:
"Ashura" is a highly important day for both sects of Islam,the Shias and the Sunnis. The Shia muslims
believe that Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, became a martyr at the Battle of Karbala on the tenth day of Muharram in 61 AH(680 AD).
As Muharram approaches, the Shias sects put on black clothes, as black is regarded as a color of mourning.
Parade to Karbala:
They parade the streets holding banners and carrying models of the mausoleum of Hazrat Imam Hussain and his people, who fell at Karbala.
Expression of their grief on Ashura day:
Some Shia sects observe "Ashura" by beating themselves with chains in public, cutting themselves with knives and sharp objects and holding mournful public processions.
