Salam. Thought I might share this video... it addresses a very important issue concerning the celebration of the Islamic new year, the significance of Muharram etc...
The significance of Muharram by Ahmed Moait
"We Muslims celebrate new year during the beginning of Muharram, but do we know the significance behind it? Besides that some people believe that Muharram is the month during which Prophet Muhammad did Hijrah. Umar R.A and other companions agreed that there was no action that was so profound, so significant in the Muslim Ummah more than the Hijra because of which some of our scholars asked, which one is more important, the birth of a person or his actions. What makes the birth of Prophet Muhammad (saw) so important? It his actions and his sacrifices."
