  10. What year is it now? The use of an “H” following an Islamic year number signifies that the dating system begins from the Hijra i.e. the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. According to the Islamic calendar this year (2007) is 1428 H.

  11. Some important dates in the Islamic calendar • 1 Muharram (Islamic New Year) • 1 Ramadan (first day of fasting) • Last third of Ramadan which includes Laylat al-Qadr • 1 Shawwal (Eid-Ul-Fitr) • 8-10 Dhul Hijjah (the Hajj to Mecca) • 10 Dhul Hijjah (Eid-Ul-Adha)

  12. And their corresponding dates in the Gregorian calendar (this year)…

  13. Some interesting trivia… every 32.5 years, the Islamic year retrogresses through the entire seasonal year therefore in 1495 H (2072- 2073 CE) these dates should fall on approximately the same dates as they have this year

  14. Some more interesting trivia… An Islamic year will be entirely within a Gregorian year of the same number in the year 20874 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_calendar

  15. Some more interesting trivia… once every 33 or 34 Islamic years (32 or 33 Gregorian years) the Islamic calendar year occurs entirely within the Gregorian calendar year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_calendar

  16. In summary…A quick comparison!
