About the Islamic Calendar

The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar, is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 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 period of fasting and the proper time for the Hajj.

The calendar began in 622 CE when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Mecca to Medina, an event known as the Hijrah.
