About the Islamic New Year

The Islamic or Hijri New Year, marked on 1 Muharram, commemorates the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ migration (Hijrah) from Makkah to Madinah. It inspires Muslims to renew their intentions, reflect on time, and begin the year with prayer, gratitude, and resolutions for piety.

The Hijri calendar is lunar-based and starts from the Hijrah—the historic migration of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
1 Muharram is a time to reflect, seek forgiveness, pray for blessings, and make positive resolutions.
Many Muslims fast on the Day of Ashura (10 Muharram) and increase worship during the first days.
Islamic New Year serves as a reminder of resilience, sacrifice, and making every new year an opportunity for greater closeness to Allah.
