Muharram marks the inception of the Islamic calendar as the first month and the Islamic New Year. Designated as one of the four sacred months by Allah, it holds a sanctified status. The name "Muharram" directly translates to "forbidden," and it is a month where warfare is strictly prohibited.

For the Muslim community, Muharram is a time of profound sorrow, especially as they mourn the passing of Hazrat Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad. The tenth day of Muharram, known as Ashura, solemnly commemorates the martyrdom of Hussein Ibn Ali during the Battle of Karbala.
