The Hijri Calendar: A Legacy of Timekeeping
The Hijri calendar, a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days, is used by many Muslim countries around the world. It is a tabular Islamic calendar that provides a unique framework for marking the passage of time based on the lunar cycle. The first year of the Hijri calendar, which corresponds to 633 CE in the Gregorian calendar, marks the significant event of Prophet Muhammad’s migration, or “Hijrah,” from Mecca to Medina.
