| | Islamic calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 638 (AH 17), the second Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab 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. | | | Islamic years are also called Hijra years because the first year was the year during which the Hijra occurred— Muhammad 's emigration from Mecca to Medina. |

| | Hebrew and Islamic Calendar Reconciled (No. 53) |
| | Indeed it is with the giving of this Surah that the Hadith begins its separation of the Islamic Calendar from the True Calendar of God as practised by the Hebrews, the Church, and early Islam under the Prophet. | | | Thus the Islamic calendar was cut adrift from the Bible and the Plan of God in 638 and afterwards. | | | The Islamic (Hijri) Calendar -with dates that fall within the Muslim Era- is usually abbreviated AH in Western languages from the Latinised Anno Hejirae "In the year of the Hijra." 1st of Muharram AH 1 allegedly corresponds to Friday July 16th, 622 CE in the Julian Calendar. |

| | Iranian calendar - free-definition |
| | The Iranian calendar was reintroduced in Persia in the year 1922, while Afghanistan adopted the calendar in 1957, using the Arab names of the zodiacal signs for the corresponding months of the Persian calendar. | | | The first day of this calendar year is also the day of the greatest festival of the year in Iran called Norouz (a single word made up of two parts, no and rouz, meaning "new day"). | | | This general picture of the Persian calendar's leap-year behaviour contrasts with other ill-informed predictive algorithms which are based on confusion between the astronomers average tropical year (365.2422 days, approximated with mistaken near 128-year cycles) and the mean interval between spring equinoxes (365.2424 days, approximated here with a near 33-year cycle). |

| | Islamic Calendar and the History of Solar Calendar |
| | By knowing when to add these “holy days” in honor of the gods, and spending the days in feasting and religious services, the Babylonians thought they were celebrating the gifts given to them by the gods. | | | The idea was that certain extra days were needed to be added to the calendar to keep it in harmony with the seasons, and therefore with the gods. | | | In 1582, according to the solar calendar, Gregory shortened the year by 10 days and devised the leap year rule. |

| | They chose to start their new calendar on July 16, 622 A.D. — or, technically, since Islamic days begin at sunset, at sunset on the date the Gregorian calendar calls July 15 — because that was the first day of the lunar year in which the key Islamic event called the Hegira took place. | | | They wanted to start a new calendar to mark the beginning of their new religion, and they wanted to make it purely and continuously lunar to differentiate it from the solar and lunisolar calendars that already existed. | | | But the early Islamic leaders wanted to break with old traditions. |
