why and for what we are celebrating the festival of 'muharam?

Question

the importance of muharam

Answer 1

Al Muharram is the first month of the Muslim year and formerly the Arab year. The name is originally not a proper name but an adjective. The name pre-dates Islam.

In the early period when an attempt was made to equate with the solar year by inserting intercalary months—which was not successful on account of the ignorance of the old Arabs in astronomical matters—al-Muharram introduced the winter half-year, as the names of the first six months show. The Arab year began, like the Jewish one, in autumn. After Muhammad had forbidden the insertion of the intercalary months in sūra IX, 37, 1 Muharram, the beginning of the year, went through all the seasons as the year, which now consisted of 12 lunar months, had always only 354 or 355 days, as it still has. Whether the first month of the year was originally marked by a festival, we do not know.

Al-Muharram has 30 days of which, in addition to the first as the beginning of the year, the following are specially noted: the ninth as the fast-day of the Shīī ascetics; the tenth as the anniversary of Karbalā (60AH/680CE/AD), on which al-Husayn b. Alī b. Abī Tālib fell fighting against the caliph Yazīd and therefore the great day of mourning for the Shīa (10 Muharram is also significant for the Sunnīs, (āshūrā)), celebrated by pilgrimages to the sacred places of the Shīa, especially to Karbalā, in which the passion play, representing the death of Alī's sons, plays the most important part; also the sixteenth as the day of the selection of Jerusalem as the qibla and the seventeenth as the day of the arrival of the “people of the elephant” (mentioned in a sura, I think).
