The 27th of Rajab marks the night that God took Muhammad (pbuh) on a journey from Makkah to Jerusalem and then to the heavens.
The 12th of Rabi’ Al-awal marks a celebration of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. The 10th of Muharram is observed by Sunnis to commemorate God saving Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) from the Pharaoh of Egypt, and observed by Shia to mourn the death of Al-Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The word Hijri means “Since Migration” referring to the year Muhammad peace be upon him (pbuh) and his companions migrated from their hometown Makkah to escape thirteen years of persecution to find refuge in a northern oasis, modern-day city of Medina. The 1st of Muharram marks the beginning of the year 1444 Hijri.
This results in the Hijri Calendar being roughly 10 days shorter than the Gregorian Calendar every year. It takes the moon 29.5 days to orbit around the earth, therefore, all 12 months in the Islamic calendar are either 29 or 30 days long. The Islamic Calendar, known as the Hijri Calendar, is based on the lunar phase cycle.

The Prophet (s) said, "For Allah, there is no time purer and greater in reward than these ten days." One of the most prevalent interpretations for these glorified and great "Known Days" is the first ten days of Dhu l-Hijja. Moreover, in Quran 22 (Sura al-Hajj), verse 28, Allah has talked about the "Known Days" in which the faithful must remember Allah. It is been narrated in hadiths that the ten nights which God has sworn to them in Quran 89 are the ten nights of the first ten days of this month.
Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Ghadir, the Event of Mubahala and many other events have happened in this month. The first ten days of it, are very well known because of performing hajj rituals during this time. This month is one of the eminent and great months of the year according to Islamic teachings. Hajj rituals usually start in the 9th of Dhu l-Hijja, and finish in the 13th of this month. Literally, Dhu l-Hijja means "owner of hajj" which indicates the close relation of the month to hajj.
This month is the only permissible time for ihram of hajj al-tamattu'. Many practices have been reported for this month in Shi'a and Sunni hadiths. Dhū l-Ḥijja (Arabic: ذو الحِجَّة) is the last month in Hijri calendar and one of the Haram months and months of hajj.
