About this image
A solitary mosque with a single tall minaret stands in silhouette against a somber sky of deep charcoal and dark maroon -- a thin crescent moon barely visible through heavy atmospheric haze, a single flickering lantern casting dim light in the foreground, and dark Islamic geometric patterns fading into the edges of the frame. The muted palette of black, deep crimson, and dark silver conveys the contemplative and sorrowful spirit of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar and one of the four sacred months in Islam. Muharram holds profound significance in Islamic tradition for multiple reasons. It marks the Islamic New Year -- the migration (Hijra) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Mecca to Medina, which is the foundational event from which the Islamic calendar is counted. The first ten days of Muharram are particularly significant, culminating in Ashura on the tenth day. For Sunni Muslims, Ashura commemorates the day Musa (Moses) and the Children of Israel were saved from Pharaoh when God parted the Red Sea -- a day of fasting and gratitude. For Shia Muslims, Ashura is the most solemn day of the year, marking the martyrdom of Imam Husayn ibn Ali, the grandson of the Prophet, at the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE. The solemnity of this Muharram wallpaper -- the dim lantern, the barely visible crescent, the dark and heavy sky -- reflects the reflective, reverent quality appropriate to this sacred month.
