| The
Islamic calendar (or Hijri calendar)
is a lunar calendar. It contains 12
months that are based on the motion
of the moon, and because 12 lunar
months is 12 x 29.53=354.36 days,
the Islamic calendar is consistently
shorter (11 Days) than a solar year,
and therefore it shifts with respect
to the Gregorian calendar. (source:
