What is Islamic Calendar The Islamic calendar is based on lunar months, which begin when a thin new crescent
Moon is sighted in the western sky after sunset within a day or so after the New Moon. Hence, the month is either 29 days or 30 days. There are 12 months in Islamic year, which is either 354 days long or 355 days long, compared to (Gregorian) calendar year of 365 or 366 days. Since the Islamic Lunar year has 12 lunar months, it is on an average, 11 days shorter than the (Gregorian) year, and the Islamic year shifts earlier in each Gregorian year by about 11 days.
