Every year, as winter fades and the first signs of spring emerge, millions of people across the world come together to celebrate Nowruz, the Persian New Year. Rooted in over 3,000 years of tradition, Nowruz marks the spring equinox and symbolises new beginnings, hope and unity. From Turkey to Iran, Central Asia to South Asia, this ancient festival is filled with fire-jumping rituals, family gatherings, festive meals and outdoor celebrations.<\/p>
But while the spirit of Nowruz remains the same, each country has its own way of making the occasion special.<\/p>
What is Nowruz in Islam and why is it celebrated?<\/h2>
Nowruz, meaning “new day”, is a festival that dates back to the Zoroastrian era. Today, it is widely observed by people of various religions and cultures, particularly in Persian, Kurdish and Turkic communities.<\/p>
While Nowruz is not an Islamic holiday, it is observed by Muslims in Iran, Central Asia and parts of the Middle East. Some Islamic scholars regard it as a cultural event rather than a religious one, though many celebrate it with prayers, charity and family gatherings.<\/p>
Nowruz is recognised globally and in 2025, Nowruz will be celebrated on March 21, bringing together millions to mark the start of a new year.<\/p>
