PHUKET, THAILAND, November 16, 2010 (Press-News.org) The Islamic New Year starts this year on 7th December 2010 and Muslims will be gathering to pay respect to the Prophet Muhammad and retelling the story of the Hijra when Muhammad fled from Mecca to Medina.
Muhammad arrived in Medina in 622 C.E. (Common Era) and it was here that with two hundred other followers that the Islamic community was first established. The laws and duties of the people were set in the city which later were referred to as the 'Constitution of Medina'.
The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and is decided by a new moon or crescent and observances are related to the event itself rather than the time of year. The New Year is spent reflecting on the previous year and the course of a person's life and people around the world will be coming together for the event.
Makkah also spelt Mecca is Islam's holiest city and will be one of the most important destinations for Muslim's celebrating the occasion. As more people head to the city for New Year, searching for an available hotel Makkah is likely to be more difficult over the course of the proceedings.
Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com, commented: "The start of the Islamic calendar is an important time of reflection and prayer. Many Muslims will want to be in the holy city and so hotels will be approaching full occupancy. Booking a room before the event is therefore highly recommended."
