  1. muslim calendar

    The Hijri calendar (Arabic: ٱلتَّقْوِيم ٱلْهِجْرِيّ, romanized: al-taqwīm al-hijrī), also known in English as the Muslim calendar and Islamic calendar, is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days. It is used to determine the proper days of Islamic holidays and rituals, such as the annual fasting and the annual season for the great pilgrimage. In almost all countries where the predominant religion is Islam, the civil calendar is the Gregorian calendar, with Syriac month-names used in the Levant and Mesopotamia (Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine) but the religious calendar is the Hijri one. This calendar enumerates the Hijri era, whose epoch was established as the Islamic New Year in 622 CE. During that year, Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to Medina and established the first Muslim community (ummah), an event commemorated as the Hijrah. In the West, dates in this era are usually denoted AH (Latin: Anno Hegirae, "in the year of the Hijrah"). In Muslim countries, it is also sometimes denoted as H from its Arabic form (سَنَة هِجْرِيَّة, abbreviated ھ). In English, years prior to the Hijra are denoted as BH ("Before the Hijra").As of 30 July 2022 CE, the current Islamic year is 1444 AH. In the Gregorian calendar reckoning, 1444 AH runs from approximately 30 July 2022 to 18 July 2023.

  1. muslim calendar

    The Muslim calendar, also known as the Islamic, Hijri, or lunar calendar, is a lunar-based system of measuring time used by Muslims around the world. It consists of twelve months, with each month starting when the crescent moon is first seen at sunset. It is typically 354-355 days long, which is shorter than the 365-366 day solar year. The Islamic calendar is primarily used to determine religious observances, such as the start of Ramadan and Eid. It began with the Hijrah, or Prophet Muhammad's migration from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD, which is why the calendar is often denoted as AH (After Hijrah).
