About Islamic New Year
Islamic New Year, also called Hijri New Year, falls on 1 Muharram, the first day of the first month of the Hijri calendar.
The Hijri calendar counts its years from the Hijra, the migration of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE, and was adopted in the time of the caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab. Because the calendar follows the moon, the new year moves about 11 days earlier each Gregorian year.
No special prayers or rituals are prescribed for the day. Many Muslims use it as a moment to reflect and make a fresh start.
