Happy Islamic New Year! Also known as the Hijri New Year, it is the first day of Muharram, which is the first month in the Islamic calendar. The starting point of Islamic calendar is migration of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. This day, observed at sunset of July 6th this year, signifies a time of renewal and spiritual contemplation.

Did you know Sacramento is home to the second oldest Muslim Mosque in the United States west of the Mississippi River? The Muslim community has grown in the Sacramento area ever since the early 1900s. A large majority of those who came to California in the early 1900s were South Asian immigrants seeking education in the United States or were refugees fleeing colonial oppression.

Construction of the Mosque began in 1941 at 411 V Street and was finished in 1947. This Mosque continues to serve the Islamic community today as part of the Muslim Mosque Association.

For today, Jared letterpress printed a Hijri New Year greeting with black rubber base ink using a 4x6 Golding Official #2 tabletop printing press. The text reads, “Hijri New Year 1st day of Muharram,” and was typeset with 30 point Caslon type font.

During the holy month of Muharram, the Kashmiri Shia community is boycotting Israeli linked water brands including Kinley and Aquafina. Instead, they are promoting local alternatives. Water holds special significance during Muharram. Each year in Kashmir, the Shia community distributes water on roads throughout the region to commemorate Ashura.

Posting a photo of Israeli linked water bottles with a cross mark on them, a user, Syed Javeed Abbas Razvi, on Facebook wrote, “Kindly boycott Kinley and Aquafina water bottles,…Instead buy Snow drop , Bringi , Treish, 7 springs, Pure MAX and Tulian.”

He added that the Shia community is buying water bottles in lakhs of rupees in Muharam. “We are doing this because these brands are Israel-linked brands. We buy water in large quantities in Muharram and we don’t want to contribute to what’s happening in Palestine,” said Hassnain Riza.

“Our boycott is a show of support for Palestine,” Hasnanin stated, “Choosing brands that align with our values is important.”

He added that the boycott extends beyond water brands to include other products like juices. “We have displayed flags and badges in solidarity with Palestine,” he said. “Our message is clear: boycotting Israeli products is our way of standing with Gaza, which is facing its own Karbala-like situation today.”

Riza told Maktoob, “This is a fight against the modern-day Yazid. Any Israeli product is part of this boycott.”

Today in Islamic history the 2nd of Muharram Imam Hussain's (AS) caravan reached Karbala. From the enemies camp Thousands of Yazid's soldiers were already there, having arrived long before the Imam.

The small tribe living in Karbala gathered around Imam Hussain's (AS) caravan.

Imam Hussain (AS) enquired about the price of the land in Karbala. He then bought the entire land as he knew this would be their burial place.

Then, he first spoke to the menfolk of the tribe.

"O, menfolk of Karbala! We have not come here to fight. Yazid's soldiers will fight with us and we will be killed. They will not bury our bodies and our bodies will be left to the wild animals of the desert. I request a favour from you. Please, bury our bodies. Imam Hussain (AS) then turned to the womenfolk of the tribe.

"Ladies of Karbala! Your menfolk, out of fear of Yazid's soldiers might not bury our bodies. Ladies! When your men are working in the fields, please come out of your houses and bury our bodies.

Somehow Imam Hussain (AS) did not feel the men nor the women would carry out his request. Sadly, he turned to the children who had gathered and spoke gently to them.

Children! If your father or your mother are unable to bury us, I beg you to throw a fistful of sand over our bodies while you are playing in the fields. That way, children, our bodies will slowly get buried."

Then, he turned to everyone who had gathered around and spoke again.

"My second request to you all is to look after the people who will come to visit our graves after our death. They will be my guests so please look after them and feed them for three days."

This pictures show the emotion in the camp of Imam Hussain (AS) as he hugs his 4 year old Daughter Sayeda Ruqayya (SA) also known as Bibi Sakina (SA) surrounded by the women of Imam Hussain's (AS) family.

Morning Theft // 7.20.24

It's a beautiful morning in July- just three days before my birthday- and i wake up right around Fajr time. I slip out a bit before sunrise, and am delighted to find that the weather is blissfully, unseasonably beautiful. A soft, tranquil breeze gently stirs through the trees as the birds greet the morning, and wispy clouds cascade across the still-dark sky. It's so quiet out, i almost feel like i'm intruding on the universe, but it greets my shy soul with open arms and fills my heart with a warm sense of belonging.

As i enter the park, i come to rest on one of the beautiful stone benches situated on the outer edge. Something about them reminds me of the Acropolis, or some ancient place where philosophers might've gathered to have discussions. I lie down on the bench for a while, gazing dreamily at the sky as night slowly trades places with morning. When i was in Canada, i used to get excited every time the weather was nice, and i'd grieve about how i'd probably have to wait until October to experience that again. But as the first light of dawn creeps across the horizon, i realize that the wind has gotten cooler- almost cold enough to make me shiver. I smile as the swift breeze envelops me... i love being wrong. The cold, rough smoothness of the stone bench penetrates my shirt and kisses my skin, adding to my sensory bliss.

As subtle pinks and purples begin adorning the sky, i praise God and take in the beauty of one of my favorite sights in all of creation. The sky fills with soft, gentle streaks of light, and the armor around my heart rattles and melts away... i am entirely defenseless in the face of His beauty. The world buys my time and steals away my attention often, but this time is Ours- for not the first time, i feel completely alone with Him, and my shyness melts into a deep, quiet longing to be closer, ever closer.

As the world fills with noise and light, the daydream of my soul wakes up, as if a passing thought in a stranger's mind; perhaps a monk living in a monastery in the mountains, peering up as my beingness floods him for a moment. Perhaps he doesn't know why, but the sight of the sky he had never noticed before suddenly makes him want to explode with wonder. Sometimes, i wish i could reach through time and space and plant a soft kiss on the consciousness of every person who secretly looks at the world this way when they're alone. The thinkers complain that it hurts to become, but lovers exist to remind them what a bliss it is to be.

After witnessing the sun's slow qiyam, i gradually make my way home, stopping to say hello to my favorite tree and admire the way its branches look in the early morning light. I had never seen it at this hour before, but i'm always awestruck by its beauty.

On the street before mine, i notice a small garage sale being set up, and a striking white dress covered in vibrant flowers catches my eye. I don't normally shop in Muharram, but i greet my neighbor with a smile and browse her offerings. I pick out a stunning yellow dress that goes beautifully with the white one, and she gives me both for a steal. I sleepily try them on when i get home- i'll have to get the white one altered or it'll slip right off my body, but the yellow fits me like a glove and makes me feel like a goddess of summer. What a beautifully perfect morning :)

If you're reading this, i love you- may the remembrance of Hussain ibn Ali (as) plant seeds of Divine, eternal love in your heart ❤️

hey when i google shia islam i usually find bloody pictures, what's that all about?

Shi'a Muslims engage in self-flagellation as a form of lamentation. Shi'a Islam focuses a lot on the aspect of the martyrdom of the Holy Imams and commemorate their deaths, especially during the tenth day of the Islamic month Muharram, this day is referred to as Ashura. Ashura is imporant because it is the day when the Imam Hussain (a), who was the Prophet's grandson, fell and achieved martyrdom in the fields of Karbala (in today's Iraq) while leading his revolution against corruption and tyranny. Out of grief, Shi'as engage in a ritual referred to Matam where participants either hit their chest with their hands, hit their back with chains, hit their head with a dull sword or slash their backs with knives depending on the culture. The slashing of backs is a common practice in South Asia, where as the dull sword is most often practiced among Shi'as in Iraq and Lebanon.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, he found the Jews observing the fast on the day of 'Ashura' (10th of Muharram). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked them (about it) and they replied, "This is the day when Moses became victorious over Pharaoh." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the Muslims), "We are nearer to Moses than they, so fast on this day."

Sahih al-Bukhari 4737
