About Hijri Calendar
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is a lunar calendar with 12 months of 29 or 30 days. A Hijri year is approximately 11 days shorter than a Gregorian year. The calendar begins from the Prophet Muhammad's migration (Hijra) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. Actual moon sighting may vary the date by ±1 day.
