From: The Friday Report
The month of Muharram marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar year and reminds the Muslims of an event of the utmost importance and joy: The Hijrah or emigration of the Prophet (SAW) and his companions (RA) from Makkah to Madinah. Hijrah was the turning point that transferred the status of Muslims from weakness to strength, from stray and instability to togetherness and establishment of state and nation. Solely, the Hijrah stands to be the greatest event in the Muslim history.

By Khalil Abdul-Rahman
What if you knew there has been only one calendar in the entire history of the world that correctly represents how time should be counted in units of days, months, and years? What if you knew that with the exception of this calendar, every other calendar used by humanity at any time in the entire history of the world, either adds or subtracts time from the calendar (a practice called intercalation), or pays tribute to false gods or some portion of Allah's creation?
Would you use this distinctive calendar on a regular basis, or only for preparing for "religious events" and use some other calendar for day-to-day activities? It is, indeed, an interesting situation. How are you handling it?
