What is the Hijri Calendar?
The Hijri calendar, also known as the Islamic or lunar calendar, is a purely lunar calendar of 12 months based on the cycles of the moon. It was introduced by Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab in 638 CE, starting from the Hijra — the migration of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. The Islamic year is about 10 to 12 days shorter than the Gregorian year, which is why Islamic dates shift relative to the solar calendar each year. This calendar is essential for determining the dates of Islamic holidays, the month of Ramadan, and the Hajj pilgrimage.
