Islamic New Year, jise Hijri New Year bhi kaha jata hai, yeh lunar Islamic calendar ke naye saal ka aghaz batata hai. Islamic calendar, Gregorian calendar ke bar’aks, chaand ke manzilon (lunar cycles) par mabni hota hai. Har naya mahina naye chaand ke dekhne par shuru hota hai, aur Muharram-ul-Haram se naya saal ka aghaz hota hai.
Hijri Calendar Kya Hai?
Hijri calendar yaani Islamic calendar ka aghaaz Hijrat-e-Mustafa ﷺ se hota hai, jab Nabi Kareem ﷺ Makkah se Madinah tashreef laaye. Yeh calendar lunar system par mabni hai, jisme har naya saal Muharram se shuru hota hai.
Islami Saal Ki Shuruat
Hijri Calendar ka aghaz 622 CE mein huwa, jab Hijrat ka ahem waqia pesh aaya. Yeh woh waqt tha jab Nabi Kareem Muhammad Mustafa ﷺ aur unke wafadar sahabi Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq RadiAllahu Ta’ala Anhu ne Makkah se Madinah hijrat farmaayi.
Hazrat Umar Farooq رضی اللہ عنہ ke daur mein isey rasmi tor par adopt kiya gaya.
Yeh hijrat sirf ek safar nahi tha, balkeh Islami tareekh ka ahem mod tha jahan se pehli Muslim Ummah ka qayam shuru huwa — jo ke Nabi ﷺ ki rehnumai mein ek nizaam ke sath zindagi guzarti thi.
Hijri Calendar ka pehla mahina Muharram-ul-Haram hai, jo Islam ke chaar muqaddas mahinon (Ashhur-e-Hurum) mein shamil hai. Is mahine ki fazilat Qur’an o Hadees se sabit hai, aur yeh saal ka aghaz ek roohani paighaam ke sath karta hai.
Islam Ke Muqaddas Mahine – Ashhur-e-Hurum
Islam mein kuch mahine aise hain jo muqaddas aur haram kehlaate hain, jinke andar jang, fitna aur nafrat se bachne ka hukm diya gaya hai. Inhe Qur’an mein “Ashhur-e-Hurum” kaha gaya hai.
Qur’ani Ayaat (Surah At-Tawbah 9:36):
إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًۭا فِى كِتَـٰبِ ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْهَآ أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌۭ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ ۚ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا۟ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ…“Beshak Allah ke nazdeek mahino ki tadaad barah (12) hai, Allah ke kitaab mein, us din se jab Usne aasmaan aur zameen ko paida kiya. Unmein se chaar mahine muqaddas hain. Yehi mustahkam deen hai. Toh in mahino mein apne aap par zulm na karo…”
(Surah At-Tawbah, Ayat 36)
Ye chaar muqaddas mahine hain:
- Muharram-ul-Haram
- Rajab-ul-Murajjab
- Zil-Qadah
- Zil-Hijjah
In mahino mein ibadat, roohani tazkiya, aur aman ko farog diya jata hai. Yeh mahine na sirf tareekhi ahmiyat rakhte hain balkay roohani tor par bhi momineen ke liye barkat aur fazilat ka zariya hain.
Muharram-ul-Haram (محرم الحرام)
- Hijri saal ka pehla mahina hai.
- Is mahine mein Yawm-e-Ashura (10 Muharram) aata hai, jisme Hazrat Imam Hussain رضي الله عنه ki shahadat ka waqia Karbala mein hua.
- Nabi Kareem ﷺ ne is mahine ke rozon ko bohot afzal qarar diya hai.
- Yeh sabr, qurbani aur tazkiya ka paigham deta hai.
Rajab-ul-Murajjab (رجب المرجب)
- Ek ahem aur fuzailat wala mahina hai jisme Shab-e-Mi’raj ka waqia bhi aata hai.
- Rajab ko “Shahrullah” (Allah ka mahina) bhi kaha gaya hai.
- Is mahine mein nafil roze, tasbih, istighfar aur zikr ka ajar bohot zyada hai.
- Nabi ﷺ ne is mahine ke baray mein dua farmayi:
- “Allahumma baarik lana fi Rajab wa Sha’ban…”
Dhul-Qadah/Zil Qadah (ذو القعدة)
- Hajj se pehle ka mahina hai.
- Is mahine mein bhi jang aur fasaad haram hai.
- Sahaba aur Aslaf is mahine ko aman aur tayaari ka waqt mante thay — Hajj aur Safar-e-Imaan ki tayyari hoti thi.
- Yeh qiyadat aur sabr ka paigham deta hai.
Dhul-Hijjah/Zil Hijjah (ذو الحجة)
- Islam ka ek intehai afzal mahina, jisme Hajj, Eid-ul-Adha aur Qurbani hoti hai.
- Pehle 10 din (Zil Hijjah ke awal das din) Qur’an aur Ahadees mein bohot fazilat ke mustahiq hain.
- Nabi ﷺ ne farmaya:
“Inse behtar din Allah ke nazdeek aur koi nahi…” - Is mahine ka paigham: Qurbani, Taqwa aur Tawakkul.
Saal Ki Shuruat Qurbani Se Aur Khatam Bhi Qurbani Par
Hijri calendar ka aghaz Muharram se hota hai — jahan humein Hazrat Imam Hussain رضی اللہ عنہ ki qurbani ka sabaq milta hai. Aur is saal ka ikhtitam hota hai Dhul Hijjah ke mahine mein — jahan Hazrat Ibrahim علیہ السلام aur Hazrat Ismail علیہ السلام ki azeem qurbani ki yaad mein Eid-ul-Adha manai jati hai.
Yani yeh poora Islamic year qurbani, sabr, aur tasleem o raza ka ek roohani safar hai. Is mein har mahina humein kisi na kisi ibadat, yaqeen, aur ikhlaaqi pegham ka darwaza kholta hai.
Hamare Liye Paigham
Hijri New Year, yaani Islamic Saal ka aghaz, humein sirf ek tareekhi ya mazhabi yaad nahi dilata — ye ek roohani intebaah hai ke waqt guzar raha hai, aur humein apni zindagi ka rukh Allah ki taraf mod lena chahiye.
Hijrat Ka Paigham – Nafsi Tazkiya Aur Behtari
Hijrat sirf Makkah se Madinah ka safar nahi tha — ye har musalman ke liye:
- Bure mahol se nikalkar behtareen amal ki taraf hijrat ka paigham hai.
- Gunah, nafrat aur ghaflat se door ho kar, taqwa aur ikhlaas ki taraf qadam badhana hai.
- Ye waqt hai self-accountability ka — apni niyat, amal aur maqsad-e-hayat ka jaiza lene ka.
Muharram – Sabr, Qurbani Aur Haq Par Qayam
Muharram-ul-Haram sirf Hijri saal ka aghaz nahi, balkeh:
- Hazrat Imam Hussain رضي الله عنه aur Ahl-e-Bait ki shahadat ka tazkara hai.
- Karbala ka paigham: Haq ke liye qurbani, zulm ke khilaf qayam, aur sabr ke zariye kamiyabi.
- Aaj bhi musalman ko yeh sochna hai — kya hum Haq ke liye khade hain? Ya hamein duniya ne be-hiss bana diya?
Ashhur-e-Hurum – Aman, Tazkiya Aur Social Reforms
Qur’an ne jo chaar mahine muqaddas qarar diye (Muharram, Rajab, Zil-Qadah, Zil-Hijjah):
- Unmein jhagra, fasad, nafrat aur zulm se rok diya gaya hai.
- In mahino mein ibadat, zikr, tasbih aur self-reform ka jazba barh jaata hai.
- Yeh roohani tazkiya aur aman ka paigham hai — jo aaj ke fasaadi dor mein bepanah zaroori hai.
Qurbani, Tawakkul Aur Ittehad – Zil-Hijjah Ka Paigham
Dhul-Hijjah humein sikhata hai:
- Qurbani sirf jaanwar ki nahi, apni khwahishaat ki bhi honi chahiye.
- Tawakkul ka matlab — har faislay mein Allah par bharosa rakhna.
- Aur sabse ahem: Muslim Ummah ka ittihad — jo Hajj mein amali taur par nazar aata hai.
Dua
“Ya Allah! Is naye saal ko hamare liye rehmat, maghfirat aur hidayat ka zariya bana de. Humein haq par chalne, sabr aur qurbani dene ki himmat de. Aur hamesha apne kareeb rakh. Ameen.”
