This significant event not only marked a pivotal moment in Islamic history but also established the Islamic community and laid the foundation for the Islamic calendar, which is based on the phases of the moon. The Islamic calendar, known as the Hijri calendar, is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Since it is shorter than the Gregorian solar calendar, the Islamic New Year begins approximately 11 days earlier each year, making it a moving observance in relation to the Western calendar.

Observance of the Islamic New Year varies across different Muslim communities and countries. It is generally a time for reflection, prayer, and contemplation of one's faith and actions in the year ahead. Muslims may attend special prayers at mosques, read the Quran, and engage in acts of charity and kindness as they welcome the new year. Traditionally, the Islamic New Year is not marked with elaborate festivities or feasts but rather with a sense of solemnity and gratitude. Families may gather for meals and discussions about the significance of the Hijra and its relevance to contemporary challenges facing the Muslim community.
