But that "a little over" is 44 minutes every month so, to keep the calendar in step with reality, an extra day is needed nearly every third year, so these years are 355 days long. In most years, that means that a year of 12 calendar months last 354 days. So a 29-day month is followed by a 30-day month (29+30 is the same as 29.5+29.5). For convenience, a month is the Islamic calendar is either 29 days or 30 days, one after the other. A lunar month (one new moon to the next) lasts a little over 29.5 days. The "waxing crescent Moon" is the phase of the Moon which starts right after a New Moon. A new month can only begin after a " waxing crescent Moon" is observed shortly after sunset. The timing of the months in the Islamic calendar is determined by direct observation of the Moon. Two Islamic countries (Iran and Afghanistan) use a different calendar, the Solar Hijri Calendar ("SH").
The current Islamic Calendar year is 1445 AH (AH = Latin: Anno Hegiræ = Year of the Hijra.) Islamic years are often called hijra years, because the first year of the calendar when the hijra occurred, that is when Prophet Muhammad went from Mecca to Medina. This means that each year of the Hijri calendar is about 11 days shorter than a solar calendar such as the Gregorian. Its year has 12 months of 29 or 30 days, and lasts a total of 354 or 355 days. It is a lunar calendar: it uses the phases of the Moon (rather the Earth's orbit of the Sun) to count the passing of time. It is used to determine Islamic holidays in most of Islam. The 1st of Muharram marks the beginning of the year 1445 Hijri.The Islamic calendar or Hijri calendar ( Arabic: التقويم الهجري) is a calendar. (Religious Holiday) The 10-12th of Thul-Hijjah marks the second major holiday celebrating the season of hajj/pilgrimage. The 9th of Thul-Hijjah marks the single day when all pilgrims stand on the mount of ‘Arafah in prayers, and those who are not attending the annual Hajj are encouraged to fast that day. Muslims embark on this journey at least once in their lifetime if physically and financially able. The 7-12th of Thul-Hijjah marks the annual Hajj, a pilgrimage to Makkah to commemorate the trials and sacrifices of Prophet Abraham (pbuh) and his family.
(Religious Holiday) The 1st-3rd of Shawwal marks the first major holiday celebrating the completion of Ramadan. The month of fasting, contemplation, restrain, and spiritual renewal is when Muslims worldwide fast 29 or 30 days from dawn to sunset. The 27th of Rajab marks the night that God took Muhammad (pbuh) on a journey from Makkah to Jerusalem and then to the heavens. The 12th of Rabi’ Al-awal marks a celebration of Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. The 10th of Muharram is observed by Sunnis to commemorate God saving Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) from the Pharaoh of Egypt, and observed by Shia to mourn the death of Al-Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). The word Hijri means “Since Migration” referring to the year Muhammad peace be upon him (pbuh) and his companions migrated from their hometown Makkah to escape thirteen years of persecution to find refuge in a northern oasis, modern-day city of Medina. The 1st of Muharram marks the beginning of the year 1444 Hijri. This results in the Hijri Calendar being roughly 10 days shorter than the Gregorian Calendar every year. It takes the moon 29.5 days to orbit around the earth, therefore, all 12 months in the Islamic calendar are either 29 or 30 days long. The Islamic Calendar, known as the Hijri Calendar, is based on the lunar phase cycle.
