Muharram 2023: Messages and Quotes to Share

Muharram is the Islamic lunar calendar's first month, marking the Muslim community's new year. It is considered the second holiest month in the Islamic calendar after Ramadan. The month is also observed as the remembrance of the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussain, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. The Muslim community considers it the mourning period when they mourn the death of Hazrat Imam in the battle of Karbala.

The initial 10 days of Muharram are considered the mourning period, of which the 10th day is marked as Ashura as the mourning period ends. While the Sunni community marks the day by fasting, some members of the Shia community also flog themselves, attempting to recreate the suffering experienced by Hazrat Imam Hussain during the battle. This year July 29 marks the day of Ashura.

These are some of the messages and quotes he can share with his friends and family.
