Awal Muharram

Today is Awal Muharram , a public holiday in Malaysia. So I decided it fitting to know what it is all about. I quote from http://www.regit.com

AWAL MUHARRAM (MAAL HIJRAH)

Celebrated by Muslims as the day symbolises two happy event in a Muslim's life. The start of Muslim year or calendar, Muharram, coincides with Prophet Muhammad's journey from Mecca to Medina on the first of Muharram in 622AD. To signify this occasion, Muslims attend to various religious activities, spiritual singing, religious meeting throughout the country.


Enjoy the holidays!
