Muharram is the first month of the Islamic Calendar.

The 10th of Muharram is also known as Ashura and is associated with Imam Hussain and his martyrdom in Karbala. The army of Yazid bin Muawia brutally massacred Imam Hussain ibne Ali and his companions in Muharram of 61 Hijri.

10th Muharram(Ashura) will be observed on Tuesday, 16 July 2024.
