Why Muharram is celebrated?

According to the Islamic Calendar, Muharram is the start of a new year and the first month of the Islamic New Year. It is one of the auspicious months among Muslims and holds a great significance. 

The month of Muharram is observed with extreme grief and mourning due to the battle of Karbala that took place in this month. During the Battle of Karbala, Prophet Imam Hussain was martyred mercilessly and that is the reason Muharram is related to grief, mourning, sadness and is critical to Muslims all around the world.
