Islamic New Year


As Islamic new year begins today, here's a wish that may this year be good for everyone, especially in the Islamic World.


The New Year has come at a time when hundreds of Muslims are being martyred in Gaza. Special prayers for its people- who have been facing and fighting a war without end.


Islamic New Year begins with the month of Muharram. Shia Muslims mark Muharram as the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala when Imam Husayn got martyred at the hands of Yazid.


Prayers are due to Saddam Hussein, who faught against the US. However, he ethnic cleansed scores of Shias, it's only a coincidence that the month of Muharram begins with his martyrdom day.
