The Islamic calendar (or Hijri calendar) is a lunar calendar used by Muslims worldwide to determine the dates of religious events, fasting, and spiritual practices. It starts from the year 622 CE.
Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the solar cycle, the Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle. Months can last 29 or 30 days, depending on the moon phases, making it 10-12 days shorter than the solar year. This difference causes Islamic holidays to shift each year in the Gregorian calendar.
The Islamic calendar depends on the moon phases, and the beginning of each month is determined by the sighting of the new moon. The visibility of the new moon may vary due to weather conditions and other factors, making the Islamic calendar an approximate tool for predicting future events.
With the Islamic calendar on Namaz Day, you can easily convert Hijri dates to Gregorian and vice versa, helping synchronize both calendar systems.
