About this calendar
The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is lunar, with 12 months of 29 or 30 days, about 354 days a year. It counts from the Hijra of the Prophet Muhammad in 622 CE. Months begin with the sighting of the new crescent moon, so dates in different countries can differ by a day. Saudi Arabia uses the calculated Umm al-Qura calendar.
