Ras as-Sana

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raʼs as-Sanah (Arabic: رأس السنة, /raʔs asˈsana/, colloquially: /ra(ː)s es-/; English: New Year) means "Head of the year" in Arabic and refers to the beginning of a new year.

The term has a common origin with the Hebrew "Rosh Hashanah" (also meaning "Head of the year"), reflecting the common heritage of the Jews and Arabs.
