Description:
- The start of the New Year for Muslims is observed on the first day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. Also known as Maal Hijrah, the occasion is celebrated on a moderate scale. Muslims usher in the eventful day by reciting Koranic verses and holding special prayers and sermons at public halls and mosques. In Malaysia, a 'Tokoh Ma'al Hijrah' is awarded to a Muslim personality to honour their contribution to Islam.
