Islamic New Year (1 Muharram) greeting video
The Hijri year begins with Muharram, a month many Muslims keep with reflection — and for Shia Muslims, Ashura on its tenth day is a day of mourning. This greeting is made for 1 Muharram and keeps that spirit: a slate-blue night, a thin new crescent, a faint jaali turning, slow fades and a prayer for peace, patience and mercy.

Common questions
Should I send “Muharram Mubarak”?
Many people prefer “a blessed Hijri new year” instead, because Muharram also holds Ashura, a day of mourning. That is why this video says so, and stays quiet.
Is it appropriate to celebrate during Muharram?
Muharram opens the Islamic year, and for many — especially Shia Muslims — its tenth day, Ashura, is a day of mourning. This greeting is calm and prayerful, with no confetti or party music; use it for 1 Muharram, not for Ashura.
