Islamic Calendar

The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar composed of 12 months made out of 29 or 30 days with the total of approximately 354 days. The time counting of this calendar starts with the event of Hijra: Muhammad’s emigration from Mecca to Medina on July, 16th 622.

Since the lunar year does not correspond to the solar year, the Islamic months shifts back each year that goes by. Since the Islamic calendar is 11 days shorter than the solar calendar, the Muslin holidays shift to different Season
