Question
What are the events that happened in the month of Muharram?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
It is difficult to trace all the events recorded in the Sunnah or the Muslim history which happened in the month of Muharram. However, we will mention some of the events we already know, such as:
1. Saving Moosa (Moses), May Allaah Exalt his mention, and his believing people from Pharaoh.
2. Detachment of Abu Salamah ibn ‘Abdul-Asad to Tulayhah Al-Asdi, 4 A.H.
3. Detachment of Muhammad ibn Maslamah toward Nejd in which Thumaamah ibn Uthaal was captured, 6 A.H.
4. Marriage of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to Safiyyah bint Huyayy ibn Akhtab, May Allaah Be Pleased with her, 6 A.H.
5. March of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, to Khaybar, 7 A.H.
6. Death of Abu Quhaafah At-Taymiyy, father of Abu Bakr 
14 A.H.
7. Death of Maariyah, the mother of the Prophet's son Ibraaheem, 16 A.H.
8. Murder of Al-Husayn on Friday, 61 A.H.
Allaah Knows best.
