Islamic calendar
The Hijri year, explained.
Twelve lunar months, four sacred months, and the events that shape the Muslim year.
The Islamic calendar follows the moon - which is why Ramadan and Eid move each Gregorian year. Aqala includes prayer times and calendar awareness so the rhythm of the year stays close at hand.
