Muharram, the first month of the Muslim calendar, begins on July 19, which marks the start of the new Islamic year. This sacred month is also known as the Hijri and the 'Month of Allah' and holds great significance for Muslims. Muharram commemorates the death of Prophet Muhammed’s grandson, Hussein Ibn Ali, who was brutally martyred during the Battle of Karbala on the tenth day of Muharram, known as the Day of Ashura.
