How many Muslims know about Islamic calendar? Or how many out of those who know do not think it is wrong to use it in the 'Western world'. I say when are we going to stop being slaves of our own created fears?! N.B. MAKE A RESOLUTION: "I WILL TELL PEOPLE ABOUT ISLAMIC (HIJRI)CALENDAR"(If these months are from Allah, then what other empowering do we need?!) Assalam alaekun.

Both the Islamic and Jewish calendars begin their months on the same day (namely the night of the crescent moon following the new moon and each month ends on the night of the new moon). This differs from the pagan calendar which is also lunar but each month begins on the night of the full moon. The Jewish calendar is essentially the calendar of Nippur a city in Ancient Sumer in Mesopotamia, which although lunar, resets the calendar by the addition of a thirteenth month so that each month always occurs in the same part of the solar year. The Islamic calendar lacks this adjustment to realign the calendar with the solar year which causes the Islamic months to move forward each solar year by a couple weeks each year. There is also a correction; the Gregorian calendar is divided between A.D. and B.C. The A.D. is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase Anno Domini which literally translates as “Year of our Lord”. This does refer to Jesus’ birth but is not actually in the translation of the phrase. The abbreviation B.C. stands for Before Christ, Christ being English for Kristos which is Greek for Messiah.
