Shiites start the new year with ten days of mourning for the slaying of Muhammad’s cousin, Ali and his grandson, Hussein Ibn Ali.
However, Shiite Muslims celebrate the new year differently. You can learn more about the Julian calendar in a separate post. The Julian calendar was mostly accurate, but it did not add leap days, and after several decades, the Julian calendar was many days off. So, the date that Muhammad fled Mecca was July 16, 622, on the Julian calendar. Muhammad dated his correspondence during his migration. They may think about starting a new year, making resolutions for the new year, and spending time with family, if possible. Sunni Muslims have no specific rituals tied to this day. This day represents the starting point of the Muslim era, and the beginning of the Muslim calendar. The muhajirun are praised in the Quran for enduring hardships in Mecca for their belief in Islam. Muhammad also brought with him devout followers and friends, known as muhajirun. This date is when the prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Medina to escape persecution. The origins behind this the new year have to do with Muhammad. The Muslim calendar is based on lunar cycles, so the date on the Gregorian calendar shifts every year. Unlike the recent festivals, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, this day is not celebrated as much. This date marks the beginning of a new year for Muslims. Hijri/Hijra/Al-Hijra/Hijrah –August 31, 2019
