Today is 1st Muharram 1430. the first day in the Muslim Lunar Calendar. Muharram is one of the four months of the year in which fighting is prohibited. the word is derived from the word ‘haram’ = forbidden. So, I guess this month we must not pick a fight with anyone and people, do not pick a fight with me kay.lol. Anyway i'm taking the opportunity to wish all of you a Happy New Year 1 Muharram 1430. and yeah, Happy New Year 1 Jan 2009. lets practice writing '2009' from now. haha. and btw, happy fasting to those who decided to observe Asyura.
Last year, we had eclipse (sun and moon became parallel to one another) hence we had our new year on the same day as Gregorian new year. Now the cycle wasnt parallel anymore hence we celebrate earlier coz the moon works faster. well, just so u know!
Maal Hijrah means migration. On this day, Muslims commemorate the Prophet S.A.W 's victory that was symbolize by the migration from Makkah to Madinah on the year 622 A.D. The Migration symbolize the beginning of Islamic Era where Madinah became the first Islamic State in the world with the first perfect and written constitution regulating the state containing detailed discussion of the prerogatives and obligations of the ruler as well as other immediate requirements, including a kind of social insurance for the needy, and where the Prophet S.A.W was the leader/ruler of the state. Maal Hijrah also means migrating from something bad towards goodness. Hence we can also take up the opprtunity towards betterment of our self.
This year, i'm trying to live healthily. I dont want to jinxed my budding healthy lifestyle by elaborating here. Lets wait until I am so used to it and comfortable of discussing it. Lets just say after a few things done, I feel a lot better mentally and physically. what a good way to start a new year. very positive of me! hope i inspire people. haha.
