The Islamic, or Hijri, calendar has 12 lunar months of 29 or 30 days, about 354 days a year, so its dates move about 11 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar every year. Years are counted from the Hijra in 622 CE and written with AH.
The dates here follow the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia. Many communities begin each month when the new crescent moon is sighted, so dates can differ by a day where you live.
