Understanding the Islamic Calendar
The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar, is a lunar calendar used by Muslims around the world to determine important religious dates, such as Ramadan and Hajj.
It consists of 12 months based on the moon's cycles, totaling about 354 or 355 days—making it shorter than the solar Gregorian calendar.
The Islamic calendar began with the Hijra, the Prophet Muhammad's migration from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE.
Its use is rooted in Islamic tradition and referenced in the Quran (Surah At-Tawbah 9:36), which highlights the significance of the lunar months.
This calendar plays a vital role in Islamic worship and cultural life.
