Wishing all our Muslim members and friends a Happy Islamic New Year 1437H

Awal Muharram or Hijri New Year is celebrated by Muslims as the day symbolises two important events in the Muslim year. Awal means beginning in English and Muharram is the name of the first month in the Muslim calendar. Islam has a calendar based on the revolutions of the Moon.

The day also coincides with the Prophet’s journey from Mecca to Medina on the first of Muharram in 622AD. To mark the occasion, Muslims attend various religious activities, spiritual singing, religious meetings throughout the country.
