The first month of the Islamic calendar is called Muharram. The festival of mourning is celebrated on its 10th date, i.e. 10th Muharram, because on the tenth day of Muharram, Hazrat Ali's son Hussain and his companions were killed in the battle of Karbala. Since then, people of the Shia community celebrate Muharram.
