UAE announces Islamic year holiday for govt sector

By: Sultan Ahmed

ABU DHABI: All government departments will remain closed on Wednesday, February 1, 2006 (Muharram 2, 1427 Hijri), on account of new Islamic year, which marks the martyrdom anniversary of holy Prophet (p)’s grandson Al-Imam Al-Hussein (p) some 1,400 years back in the scorching desert of Karbala for elevation of Islam and Shariah.

A circular released earlier which declared Tuesday, January 31, 2006, as new Islamic year holiday, has been nullified by this latest circular.
