Agra. Khatib and Imam Juma Muhammad Iqbal of Nahar Wali Masjid in Sikandra said in his Khutba Juma that In today’s Friday sermon, with the help of Allah, we will talk about Muharram and Hijri calendar. We know very little of our real history and it is also to be remembered that if a nation forgets its history, then history also forgets that nation and this is a dangerous thing. We spend our time in many things, this also needs attention, as you all know that the first month of 1445 Hijri has started and it’s name is Muharramul Haram. Some of our brothers know this month because of a special incident and do not even consider it to be a good month. Verse number 36 of Surah Tauba in Quran and Hadith no. 4662 of Sahih Bukhari, it has been clearly stated in both that “From the time when Allah Ta’ala created the world, the four months are respected, and the month of Muharram included in this. So this month is already auspicious, not because of any special event, we need to understand this very well and the Islamic calendar, which we also call the Hijri calendar, also starts from Muharram. Know this also and tell others too, when it was felt in the Islamic government that we should have our own calendar, so that the system of government can run from that, then many suggestions came forward but in the Majlise Shura of Sahaba, It was decided by the suggestion of Hazrat Ali (radi.) to start this calendar from the event of Hijrah to Madina of the Prophet of Allah and in this way the Islamic calendar started from 622 A.D., in which the first month is Muharramul Haram. O servants of Allah! you yourself and your family members should pay attention even to this and also remember the 12 months. On the first date of this month, a great Sahabi was also martyred. Think your answer in your heart and match it with what is being told whether you knew this thing or not? Decide yourself how much do we have knowledge. The name of that Sahabi is Hazrat Umar Farooq (radi.) who was the second Khalifa. Share this information with yourself, your family members and your friends too. May Allah grant us all the ability to follow Islamic teachings. Aameen.
When Allah Created The World!
