Islamic New Year 2020 will be practised by Muslims in India by staying indoors as the country is hit by coronavirus pandemic. Due to this, all religious places are shut to avoid the spread of COVID-19 germs. Muslims mourn the death of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī (Imam Hussain Alayhi s-salām), grandson of Prophet Muhammad who sacrificed his life on the 10th day of Muharram, which is known as Ashura. Imam Hussain (AS) died fighting against Yazid I during the Battle of Karbala.

Muslims fast and offer Namaz on the day of Ashura to mourn the death of Imam Hussain (AS). Never wish any Muslim Happy Ashura, as it is a sad occasion for them. Ashura will most likely commence on August 30 or August 31, 2020.  You can send out Muharram quotes, messages by doing free download of Islamic New Year 2020 wishes, greetings and stickers from below.
