Muharram is the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar and holds significant religious and cultural importance for Muslims worldwide. It marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year and is considered a sacred month, particularly for reflecting on the history and teachings of Islam. One of the most solemn observances during Muharram is the remembrance of the martyrdom of Imam Hussain ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, and his companions at the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE. This event is central to Shia Islam and commemorated with intense grief and mourning, especially on the tenth day of Muharram, known as Ashura. In India, Ashura 2024 falls on July 17. To mark the Islamic observance in Muharram, devotees send Ashura messages, Muharram 2024 HD images, quotes, wallpapers and sayings.

Shia Muslims participate in processions, speeches, and rituals to honour Imam Hussain's sacrifice, emphasizing themes of courage, righteousness, and resistance against oppression. For Sunni Muslims, while the events of Karbala hold historical significance, their observance of Muharram often focuses on fasting, prayer, and reflection on the lessons of humility and gratitude taught by the Prophet Muhammad. Both Sunni and Shia Muslims use this month to strengthen their faith through acts of charity, kindness, and self-discipline.
