Designerplanet.Why Do We Wear Black During Muharram?

Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, has deep significance for Muslims around the world, especially the Shiite community. It is a time of mourning and reflection as we commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS), the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). As families prepare to commemorate this solemn period, dressing children in black has become a tradition to symbolize mourning and respect. At MiniPosh, we understand the importance of this tradition and have curated a collection of comfortable black dresses for children.

Reason Behind Wearing Black During Muharram

Traditionally, Shia wear black during the month of Muharram. In fact, it is considered Mustahbb (highly recommended) to do so this month. We discovered that most Shias wear black clothing at certain times of the year, including Shia Ulema (scholarships) and Maraje' (higher scholars). In fact, Shiite Ayatollahs tend to wear black all year round, and they are rarely seen without their black cloaks.Shi'ite Muslims cover the walls inside and outside their houses, Mosques, Centers, offices, and even government buildings with black cloth to express their grief and sorrow towards the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him).

The colors that a Shiite may wear during Muharram are black, white, grey, blue, green, turquoise (piroji), and brown (without shades of orange), i.e. sand-brown or black-brown. Some people wear clothes. Off-white too. 

Colors that cannot be worn in Muharram are red, orange, maroon, pink, magenta (rani), yellow, orange-brown and purple/voilet with pink tints. Purple can be worn with caution if it is darker and more similar to navy blue. Colors to avoid should also be avoided in embroidery or print patterns. Just as you would wear black clothes, you should not wear pink prints or embroidery work.

Understand the Muharram 

Muharram is not only the beginning of the Islamic New Year, but also a period of remembrance and mourning. The 10th day of Muharram, known as Ashura, is most important as it commemorates the Battle of Karbala and the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS). Wearing black during Muharram is a way to express sorrow and solidarity for the suffering and sacrifices of Imam Hussein (AS) and his followers.

Dressing our children in black is a meaningful way to honor this tradition.

Black Magic….

Black Saree

Fashionistas swear by the color black. And so does everyone else. It’s a universal favorite. It’s the ultimate. It’s not for nothing that the rule of thumb, when in doubt, wear black, was invented. This color exudes sensuality, mystery, power and also elegance. Deemed as a formal color, it denotes authority and strength also. The popularity of le noir was elevated to another level thanks to the Little Black Dress (fashionably known as the LBD) made popular by Coco Chanel, which Audrey Hepburn epitomized in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Similar to the LBD, the black saree can also be considered as a fashion staple. Just as no wardrobe is ever complete without the little black dress, the absence of the black saree also makes a wardrobe incomplete. The black saree is a great option for the Indian woman as black is a slimming color and to add to that saree is a slimming outfit. Mais oui, you can’t expect to make a style statement draped in six yards of plain fabric. When it comes to monochrome, you need to play with surfaces and textures to achieve that panache. Embellishments with black sequins, black beads, black bugle beads, etc give it that shimmer and shine that break the monotony of black.

Our section Black Couture is a good place to start hunting for that quintessential black saree. We offer an exquisite range including a lot of variety. Classic blacks, which do not possess the touch of any other color but rich embellishments with black sequins and beads imparts a killing look. You will love the way it shines and shimmers.
