The Rituals & Festivals in Islam
The Islamic calendar
- Islamic calendar (or Hijri calendar) is a purely lunar calendar.
- Contains 12 months that are based on the motion of the moon.
- Because 12 synodic months is only 12 x 29.53=354.36 days, the Islamic calendar is consistently
shorter than a tropical year, therefore it shifts with respect to the Christian calendar.

- Based on the Qur'an (Sura IX, 36-37) and its proper observance is a sacred duty for Muslims.
- Islamic calendar is the official calendar in countries around the Gulf, especially Saudi Arabia.
- Other Muslim countries use the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes and only turnOto the Islamic calendar for religious purposes.
- Islamic calendar is about 11 days shorter than the year in the Christian calendar
