  • More hamsas! We wish you all a happy Rosh Hashana and the Islamic new year. Unless you're Shia, in which case we wish you a very sad Muharram 🍎🍯 Hamsa from @seeedax06 #roshhashana #muharram #newyear Update: To clarify, the Islamic calendar begins with the month of Muharram. Sunnis wish each other a happy new year, whereas Shia commemorate and mourn the martyrdom of Imam Husayn, the third Shia imam and the Prophet's grandson throughout Muharram and the first twenty days of Safar. This post is not intended to be anti-Shia in any way.
