Which is the first month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar?

Explanation

– Muharram is the first month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar and is considered one of the four sacred months in which warfare is traditionally prohibited.
– The tenth day of this month, known as Ashura, holds particular historical and religious significance, including its association with the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (RA) at Karbala.
– For exams, remember that the Islamic New Year begins with the start of Muharram, though it is generally observed with less festivity compared to other calendars’ new year celebrations.
