First and foremost may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless all of us and the entire Ummah

on the first Muharram of the year 1443.

This is our new year, our new Hidji year.

We make dua to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to allow this year to be a year of happiness

in a year of peace and a year of lifting of the COVID crisis and a year of return to normalcy

and a year of Isza for the Islam and the Muslims and a year of protection for all that are

persecuted from the weekers and from our Syrian brothers and sisters and the Burmese and

what is happening out of Iran is that in all the places we want to have peace and security

Hidji-Di calendar where it came from and some minor issues about this insha'Allah wa ta'ala

and miscellaneous thoughts is going to be a bit unstructured today insha'Allah.

The first issue of course is where did this calendar come from we're all familiar

that in the 16th year of the Hidjira there was no Hidji-Di calendar

and Abud-un al-Khattab, Abud-un al-Radi Allahu'an, had to settle a court case

where two people were arguing and the contract said you have to return the money in Shia'ban

and the guy said no this is next Shia'ban and the other guy said no this was the previous Shia'ban

that went by it didn't have a year so Amr al-Khattab realized we need a calendar like the

Persians have a calendar and like the Romans have a calendar okay they understood that for a

civilization to come you had to have some independent realities of your own you cannot be linked
