Where Did the Islamic Calendar Actually Come From? | Ustadh AbdulRahman Ali

🌙 As the new Hijri year begins and we enter the month of Allah, Muharram, Ustadh AbdulRahman Ali explains what this moment means for a Muslim, and why the believer does not mark it the way the rest of the world marks the new year.

Ustadh AbdulRahman Ali covers the origin of the Islamic calendar and why ʿUmar chose to date it from the hijrah, the virtue of fasting in Muharram and on the day of Ashura, and how the salaf treated the passing of time as a reason to hold themselves to account ⏳ rather than a reason to celebrate.

Rather than waiting for one day a year to begin again, the believer renews every morning 🌅. May Allah allow us to enter this year upon His obedience and to make the most of every day we are given. ✨
