Lunar System
The Hijri calendar is strictly lunar, consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Because it is shorter than the solar year, Islamic holidays cycle through all seasons over a 33-year period.
The Hijra Epoch
The calendar begins with the year 622 AD, the year of the Prophet Muhammad's migration (Hijra) from Mecca to Medina. This event marks the beginning of the first Islamic state.
Usage Note
Calculations use the Umm al-Qura calendar system, which is the official civil calendar of Saudi Arabia. Minor variations may exist based on local moon sightings.
