đź’¨ Abstract
Muslims will welcome the Hijri New Year on or around June 26, 2025, marking the year 1447 A.H. This lunar calendar begins with Muharram, a month for spiritual reflection and increased prayer. The new year commemorates the Prophet Muhammad's migration from Mecca to Medina. Observances vary: Shiite Muslims mourn Hussein's death on Ashoura, while Sunni Muslims fast.
