On the Sacrifice of Imam Husayn (RAA)
Message from A Sunni Scholar : Shaykh Al- Ninowy
The following article is a message from Sayyidi Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya al-Husayni Al- Ninowy (may Allah preserve and elevate him) written last year on the advent of Muharram. Since we have just entered the month of Muharram 1430, it would be appropriate to share this wonderful message on Muharram and the sacrifice of Imam Husayn (peace be upon him):
“Among the believers are Men, who delivered their promise to Allah” (Ayah 23/Surat Al-Ahzab)
If history has taught us anything, it has certainly delivered a message with unequivocal resonance; Haqq and freedom are not something that is given. Haqq and Freedom are things people take, and people are as free and on the Haqq as they want to be.

Monday December 29 to be the First Day of Muharram And the beginning of new
Islamic year of 1430.
ISRA would like to confirm that there were several verifiable sightings of
the Muharram Crescent after the sunset on Sunday December 28th, 2008. The reports
came from Miami , Austin , Orlando , Dallas , San Jose (CA), and other places.
The astronomical data had also strongly predicted the possibility of naked-eye
sighting of Muharram crescent in most of North America .
Therefore, ISRA confirms that Monday, December 29, 2008,
is the first day of Muharram 1430. This day also marks the beginning of new
Islamic year of 1430.
On this occasion we pray to Allah (SWT) to bless the Ummah and forgive its
shortcomings and shower His mercy over entire humanity. Ameen.
Please note that 'Ashura ( The 10th of Muharram) falls on January 7, 2008,
this year.
