About Hijri Calendar
The Islamic Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. It is used to determine the proper days of Islamic holidays and rituals.

The Hijri calendar follows the lunar cycle, with each month beginning upon the sighting of the new moon. This makes Islamic months shift approximately 11 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar.

Key Islamic dates include Ramadan (month of fasting), Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and the month of Dhul Hijjah when Hajj is performed.
