About the Islamic Hijri Calendar
The Islamic Hijri calendar (اسلامی ہجری کیلنڈر) is a purely lunar calendar that holds immense significance for Muslims around the world. It began from the migration (Hijrah) of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from Makkah to Madinah in 622 CE. The calendar consists of 12 months, each lasting 29 or 30 days depending on the sighting of the moon. Key months include Muharram (the first month and one of the four sacred months), Ramadan (the month of fasting), and Dhul Hijjah (the month of Hajj pilgrimage). The Islamic calendar is approximately 10-12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, which is why Islamic dates shift each year relative to the solar calendar. In Pakistan and across the Muslim world, this calendar is essential for determining dates of religious festivals like Eid ul Fitr, Eid ul Adha, Shab-e-Meraj, Shab-e-Barat, and the start and end of Ramadan. Learning the Islamic months in Urdu helps connect with the rich heritage of Islamic tradition and enables proper observance of important religious occasions throughout the year.
