Awal Muharam 2011
Assalamualaikum ; Peace be upon you :)
The 1st Muharram 1432 (known as Maal Hijrah/Awal Muharram in Malaysia) falls on 7 December 2010. It is a national celebration here (with syariah-compliant events).Maal Hijrah, which is also called Awal Muharam, is an important day for Muslim.
The meaning of Maal Hijrah in English is migration. On this day, Muslim remember Nabi Muhammad S.A.W migrate from Mecca toMedina
Awal means beginning in English and Muharam is the first month of Muslim calendar. In another words, this is the first day in Muslim calendar. Therefore, this is also the new year for all Muslim.To signify this occasion, Muslims attend to various religious activities, spiritual singing, and religious meeting throughout the country.
This day has become an important religious day for all Muslim.
I wish all Muslim readers, a very happy, prosperous and peaceful Islamic New Year (1st Muharram 1432 Hijrah).Let's make self assessment and reflection (muhasabah) on past one year we lived through in order to improve ourselves in the coming years. Tomorrow should be better than today and next year should be better than this year...continuous improvement is required on all Muslims.Let's live on the true spirit of Hijrah and Jihad....and keep on the right path.The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “I have left two things among you, as long as you hold fast to them, you will never go astray. They are the Book of Allah (Quran) and the Sunnah of His Messenger”
Peace be upon you...As salam !
