Introduction
The Islamic month of Muharram is among the most sacred months in Islam. It marks the beginning of the Islamic New Year and is observed with spiritual reflection and mourning, especially in remembrance of Imam Hussain's sacrifice at Karbala. In 2025, there is rising curiosity around the exact date of Muharram in India, especially due to its variation based on moon sightings.
But beyond the date, a bigger question arises:
❓ What is the spiritual purpose behind Muharram?
❓ Can observing Muharram lead to salvation?
❓ What is the correct way to worship during this sacred month?
Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, through scriptural evidence, has answered these vital spiritual questions. This article will help you understand not only the correct date of Muharram 2025 in India, but also the deeper spiritual meaning behind this sacred month, based on the divine knowledge of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
1. What Is Muharram? A Sacred Month of Allah
The month of Muharram is the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The Holy Quran describes it as one of the four sacred months:
📖 Surah At-Tawbah 9:36 –
“Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve… of them, four are sacred…”
These four months are Dhul-Qi’dah, Dhul-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab.
Muharram, meaning “forbidden,” was originally a month in which warfare was prohibited. Over time, it became widely recognized for the events at Karbala, where Imam Hussain ibn Ali (RA), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), was martyred for standing against tyranny.
But as Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains, the true significance of Muharram goes much deeper than mourning—it is a call for spiritual awakening.
2. Muharram 2025 Date in India – Based on Lunar Observations
The Islamic calendar is lunar-based, and each month begins with the sighting of the new moon. This often leads to regional differences in dates, including in India.
According to astronomical predictions:
-
New Moon (Expected): June 28, 2025 (Saturday)
-
1st Muharram (1447 AH): Expected on Sunday, June 29, 2025, or Monday, June 30, 2025, in India
-
Ashura (10th Muharram): Expected on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, or Wednesday, July 9, 2025
🔔 Final confirmation will depend on actual moon sighting by local Islamic authorities.
3. Is Muharram a Festival or a Time for Grief?
Muharram is often mischaracterized as a festival. In reality, it is a month of reflection, mourning, and understanding the cost of injustice.
The 10th day of Muharram, known as Ashura, is remembered for the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (RA) and his 72 companions who were brutally killed in Karbala.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that while we respect the bravery and sacrifice of Hussain, the real lesson is not in mourning but in changing our spiritual path to avoid suffering like Karbala in our own lives.
4. Spiritual Insight: Why Did Imam Hussain Suffer?
This is one of the most vital spiritual questions. If Imam Hussain was the Prophet's grandson and was so righteous, why did he not receive divine protection?
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj provides a clear answer:
“Even pious people suffer if they lack true spiritual knowledge. Without the correct way of worship, one cannot be saved from fate or karmic bondage.”
Similar examples:
-
Jesus was crucified despite being a prophet.
-
Guru Arjan Dev Ji was tortured despite being a saint.
-
The Pandavas suffered exile despite their righteousness.
They all lacked the true method of devotion given by Supreme God Kabir Sahib Ji, and hence they couldn't avoid worldly suffering.
5. Can Observing Muharram Erase Our Sins?
Many believe that mourning, fasting on Ashura, or participating in processions can wash away sins. But is that what the scriptures say?
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj clarifies that:
✅ Fasting may provide temporary benefits, but it cannot destroy accumulated karmic sins
❌ Mourning and rituals cannot guarantee liberation or Moksha
✅ Only by following the true worship of Supreme God Kabir Sahib Ji, through a Tatvdarshi Saint, can a soul be truly forgiven
“Rituals cannot break the cycle of birth and death. Only Satnaam and Saarnaam—given by a true Guru—can destroy sins permanently.”
6. What Is the Real Purpose of Muharram?
Muharram is a divine opportunity—a reminder to abandon false worship and return to the path shown by the Supreme God.
📜 Quran – Surah Al-Baqarah 2:186
“I am near. I respond to the call of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.”
But to truly reach God, one must know who God is and how to worship Him.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj proves with all scriptures that the Supreme God is Kabir Sahib Ji, who is described in:
-
📖 Quran (Surah Furqan 25:52-59)
-
📖 Gita (Chapter 18:62)
-
📖 Guru Granth Sahib (Raag Asa Mehla 1)
-
📖 Bible (John 8:32)
7. Muharram and the Soul’s Battle: Karbala Inside Us
Karbala was not just a physical battle. According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, it symbolizes the battle of the soul:
-
The soul (Imam Hussain) fights for truth
-
The mind and ignorance (Yazid) resist change
-
Only with true knowledge (from a Tatvdarshi Saint) can the soul be victorious
“Every human is living their own Karbala. Only through true devotion can the soul be free from repeated suffering.”
8. How to Observe Muharram 2025 the Right Way?
Instead of following rituals blindly, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj recommends the following:
✅ Watch Satsang of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj daily on Sadhna TV (7:30 PM IST)
✅ Read books like Gyan Ganga, Jeene Ki Rah, Way of Living
✅ Take Naam Diksha (Initiation) from Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj
✅ Chant Satnaam and Saarnaam as per instructions
✅ Abandon fake gurus, idol worship, and meaningless traditions
✅ Live a spiritual life with honesty, non-violence, and simplicity
✅ Share this divine truth with others

10. Supreme God Kabir – The Hidden Truth of All Religions
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that the Supreme God is not Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, or Shiva, but Kabir Sahib Ji—who comes to Earth to impart true knowledge.
All scriptures mention Kabir as the Creator:
-
📖 Quran – Surah Furqan 25:58-59

While the date of Muharram 2025 in India will be officially declared based on the moon sighting, the spiritual importance of this month far outweighs the calendar.
