| | Islamic calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 638 (AH 17), the second Caliph Umar began numbering the years of the Islamic calendar from the year of the Hijra, which was postdated AH 1. | | | The first surviving attested use of the Hijri calendar is on a papyrus from Egypt in 22 AH, PERF 558. | | | The Islamic calendar or Muslim calendar (also called "Hijri calendar", Arabic التقويم الهجري) is the calendar used to date events in many predominantly Muslim countries, and used by Muslims everywhere to determine the proper day on which to celebrate Islamic holy days. |

| | The Islamic Calendar |
| | The Islamic calendar is dated from the Hijrah (migration) of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from Mecca to Medina as a result of religious persecution. | | | It is distinct from the Gregorian calendar which is a solar calendar, because the source for the Islamic calendar is the Holy Qur'an, (the holy book for Muslims) and the Sunnah (practice) of the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him). | | | In the Islamic calendar, we are now in the year 1420 AH which started on the first day of Muharram (the first month in the Islamic calendar) and will Insha'Allah (Allah Willing) end on the last day of Dhul Hijja. |

| | The Islamic calendar, because of its inherent cycles of the visible crescent, does not require any corrections, and has remained intact in its principle since it was given to mankind by Allah (SWT) through His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). | | | This indicates that the use of a calendar with intercalation is against nature and disliked by Allah (SWT). | | | Intercalation of a month is used by the Jewish, Chinese, and Hindu calendars, while Gregorian calendar uses intercalation of days in several months to increase the number of days to 30 or 31. |
