Welcome Safar 1446
Safar is the second month of the Islamic (hijri) calendar, the first being the sacred month of Muharram which is one of the four sacred months of the year, ordained by Allah (SWT).
Safar was the month in which The Prophet (PBUH) fell ill before he passed away in the next month- Rabi al-Awwal. On 29th Safar 11AH, the Prophet (PBUH)’s temperature rose extremely high. Despite being in ill health, he continued to lead the Muslims in prayer for 11 day.
Safar is a very important month for Muslims, particularly because it was the month in which the Prophet (PBUH) left his hometown Makkah and fled to holy Madina to spread the lights of Islam, which would later spread throughout the world. A month in which many trials and tribulations have taken place, it has been opined that Safar was also the month in which Imam Hassan (AS), the grandson of the Prophet (PBUH) was martyred.
Safar is also an important month to reflect on Muharram and to continue implementing Islamic New Year resolutions, such as increased good deeds and manners, and to contemplate on our actions.
Many battles occurred during this month, including the battles of Abwaa and Khyber. As a result, Allah (SWT) commanded the Muslims to move to Madina to avoid further battles, which showed Islam to be a religion of peace and brotherhood.
In Safar, some important events occurred. The Prophet (PBUH) migrated to Madina from Makkah on the 27th night, where he avoided being assassinated by the Quraysh who waited outside his house by reciting, ‘And We have put a barrier before them, and a barrier behind them, and We have covered them up so that they cannot see’. [Qur’an, 36:9]
Moreover, in Safar, the Prophet’s (PBUH) daughter, Fatima (RA) got married to Ali (RA), and Hasan Ibn Ali (RA) attained martyrdom.
