a lot of times we forget the names of Islamic months and how they run parallel to the yearly calendar which we use.
it is important for everyone to know about our months and also teach kids about their significance.

Dushwari, are you sure these dates are correct, and if yes then to what extent. I mean 100%, 90% or 10%? Further, will you be kind enough to tell me for which countries and cities of the world these dates are valid. And if you can further enlighten me for which 'maslak' these dates are accaptable?
Hope you may answer with confidance. I have to tell my kids.
DanishJu,
this calendar is for dates in US. it simply compared Lunar year with Solar.
i am afraid i will not be able to define according to maslaks.
please consult local mosque’s islamic center to know the exact days of calendar year on which lunar dates and months may fall.
please see this link:
Tariqkhan, thanks for speaking on my behalf. i appreciate this.
i did not calculate these months myself. they are cited above. & i do hope this calendar is accurate.
