How the Hijri (Islamic) Calendar Works

The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is a pure lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Because the lunar year is roughly 10 to 11 days shorter than the solar Gregorian year, Islamic dates rotate backward through the seasons. Years are designated as AH (Anno Hegirae / Year of the Hijrah), marking the historic migration of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE.
