Muslims globally are preparing to mark the advent of a new year in the Islamic lunar calendar, known as the Hijri calendar, a period of profound spiritual significance.
Beginning on the first day of the month of Muharram, the Hijri New Year offers a moment for deep spiritual reflection and the setting of religious resolutions. This observance follows the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, further cementing its place as a time for renewal.
