What is Nowruz in Islam?

The March equinox, or the first day of spring, which occurs around March 21st, marks the beginning of the Iranian calendar.

The Persian calendar was changed in the 11th century CE to align Nowruz, the start of the calendar year, with the vernal equinox.

The first day of the official New Year (Nowruz) was always the day on which the sun entered Aries before noon, according to the definition of Nowruz provided by the Iranian scientist Tusi.

The first day of Farvardin, the first month of the Persian solar calendar, which is the one used legally in Iran and Afghanistan, is Nowruz.
