[Machine] That the people of ignorance used to count and say "zero" for the month of Al-Muharram and "zero" for the month of Safar. They would also invert and perform a pilgrimage in one year during a certain month, and in another year during a different month. They would say, "If we make a mistake in observing the sacredness of a certain place in one year, we will compensate for it in another year." So Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, revealed the verse: "The postponing (of a Sacred Month) is Indeed an Addition to Unbelief" [Surah At-Tawbah 9:37]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, time has turned around just as it was on the day when Allah created the heavens and the earth." Therefore, no month should be inverted, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named it Al-Muharram.
