First day of the Islamic New Year celebrated on the first day of Muharram. Al Hijra is the day when Mohammed began his migration from Mecca to Medina in Islamic Year 1 (1 AH), 622 CE.
The Hijri New Year, also known as Islamic new year (Arabic: رأس السنة الهجرية Ras as-Sanah al-Hijriyah) is the day that marks the beginning of a new Islamic calendar year, and is the day on which the year count is incremented. The first day of the year is observed on the first day of Muharram, the first month in the Islamic calendar.
Date with respect to Gregorian calendar
Since the Islamic year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the Gregorian year, the Islamic new year does not come on the same day of the Gregorian calendar every year. While some Islamic organizations prefer determining the new month (and hence the new year) dates by local sighting of the moon, most Islamic institutions and countries, including Saudi Arabia[1], follow astronomical calculations to determine future dates of the Islamic calendar. The following dates on the Gregorian calendar correspond to the Islamic new year:
| Islamic Year | <><><>Gregorian Date |
|---|---|
1426 AH | 10 February 2005 |
1427 AH | 31 January 2006 |
| 1428 AH | 20 January 2007 |
| 1429 AH | 10 January 2008 |
| 1430 AH | 29 December 2008 |
| 1431 AH | 18 December 2009 |
| 1432 AH | 7 December 2010 |
| 1433 AH | 26 November 2011 |
| 1434 AH | 14 November 2012 |
| 1435 AH | 3 November 2013 |
The event also commemorates the death of Prophet Mohammed’s grandson Imam Hussein who, along with his family and followers, was killed in the battle of Karbala in 680 which took place on the tenth day of the month of Muharram.
The Shia Muslims celebrate the day with public enactments of grief while the Sunni Muslims celebrate the occasion on a quieter note with silent offerings to Imam Hussain
