MOSLEM NEW YEAR (HIJRIYAH)
Muslims measure the passage of time using the Islamic (Hijrah) calendar. This calendar has twelve lunar months, the beginnings and endings of which are determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. Years are counted since the Hijrah, which is when the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Madinah (approximately July 622 A.D.). The arrival of Muhammad s.a.w at the city of Medina was the beginning of victory for Muslims. For the first time, Muslims gained the rights to run a country based on Islamic teachings, led by Muhammad s.a.w himself. It came naturally to the Muslims at that age to name the year of Rasulullah's arrival at Medina as the first year. This act was not forbidden by Rasulullah s.a.w.
The Islamic calendar was first introduced by the close companion of the Prophet, 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab. During his leadership of the Muslim community, in approximately 638 A.D., he consulted with his advisors in order to come to a decision regarding the various dating systems used at that time. It was agreed that the most appropriate reference point for the Islamic calendar was the Hijrah, since it was an important turning point for the Muslim community. After the emigration to Madinah (formerly known as Yathrib), the Muslims were able to organize and establish the first real Muslim "community," with social, political, and economic independence. Life in Madinah allowed the Muslim community to mature and strengthen, and the people developed an entire society based on Islamic principles.
After I got the information about the Moslem New Year (Hijriyah), first of all, I think in this situation, we have to reflect upon our self about the problems which is happen in our country. There are many problems which can not solve from year to year, such as about politic, social an economic. Second, natural disaster, it was very apprehensive about natural disaster which was happened in some area. Many people who become a victims. Third, crisis of morality, in this time many people who have a bad morality. It is because the social intercourse which is freer and the people have a less piety to Allah SWT.
In the conclusion, Hijriyah has a relation to the reality. First of all, the movement of the way of our view about something which is happens or will happen. Second, the movement of people attitudes in saves our environment and our nationality. Third, the movement of spiritualization in increasingly the piety to Allah SWT and always avoid the bad habits.
