Awal Muharram

Besides the month of Ramadan, Awal Muharram is considered as the most sacred of all. “Muharram” comes from the term “haram” that means “sinful”. Over this period, Muslims are not allowed to fight as it is a time for peace and remembrance. It also commemorates Prophet Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina and is seen as a perfect period for reflection and a preparatory point for change.
