The Bengali Calendar The Hijri year was not introduced instantly with the migration of the holy Prophet form Makkah to Madianah on July 16, 662 A.D. It was Hazrat Omar, the second Caliph of Islam, who introduced it in 638 A.D. after 16 years of the Hjirat (Migration). The Hijri year began to be counted and made effective from the first day of Muharram- the first day of the then current Arabic year, not from the exact date of the Hijrat on the 12th of Rabiul Awal i.e. Originated though it was in the Hijri year, the Bangla Sone (the Bengali year) is a remarkable departure from the parent Hijra, for the Hijra is a lunar year while the 'Bangla Sone' is a solar year. www.mukto-mona.com /Special_Event_/bengali_calendar.htm

Alhabib's Postcard Center: About Islamic Hijri Calendar The Islamic (Hijri) calendar (with dates that fall within the Muslim Era) is usually abbreviated A.H. in Western languages from the latinized Anno Hegirae, "in the year of the Hegira". Since the Islamic calendar is purely lunar, as opposed to solar or luni-solar, the Muslim (Hijri) year is shorter than the Gregorian year by about 11 days, and months in the Islamic (Hijri) year are not related to seasons, which are fundamentally determined by the solar cycle. For religious reasons, the beginning of a Hijri month is marked not by the start of a new moon, but by a physical (i.e., an actual human) sighting of the crescent moon at a given locale. al-habib.tripod.com /event/hijriInfo.htm

Islam Online - Services (Fatwa) Indeed, seizing such happy occasions (such as the `Eids or the new Hijri year) and exchanging congratulations in them is capable of cementing the ties of friendship and solidarity among Muslims.

Praying for Muslims and congratulating them using phrases that are not meant as a kind of a ritual act is religiously acceptable, especially when such congratulations or supplications are done on special occasions such as the `Eids. www.islamonline.net /fatwaapplication/english/display.asp?hFatwaID=93704

Islamic Calendar and the History of Islamic Calendar Since the Islamic calendar is purely lunar, as opposed to solar or luni-solar, the Muslim (Hijri) year is shorter than the Gregorian year by about 11 days, and months in the Islamic (Hijri) year are not related to seasons, which are fundamentally determined by the solar cycle. The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year) so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred; that is the straight usage so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight the pagans. The Islamic Calendar, which is based purely on lunar cycles, was first introduced in 636 CE by the close companion of the Prophet (saw) and the second Caliph,“ Umar ibn Al-Khattab (ra) (592-644 CE). islamic-paths.org /Home/English/History/Calendar/History_Islamic.htm

It is interesting to note that the birthday of the Holy prophet (12th Rabi-ul-Awwal) occurs generally 71 days after the commencement of the Hijri year (1st of Muharram). Accordingly, the lunar year is shorter than the Christian Gregorian solar year from 10 to 11 days. www.muslim-canada.org /tenyears.html

Saudi Aramco World : Flavors 2005: Gregorian and Hijri Calendars (This date corresponds to July 16, AD 622 on the Gregorian calendar.) Today in the West, it is customary, when writing hijri dates, to use the abbreviation AH, which stands for the Latin anno hegirae, “year of the hijrah.” For example, 2005 Gregorian spans both 1425 and 1426 hijri, but the equation tells you that 2005 “equals” 1426, when in fact 1426 merely began during 2005. The hijrah thus occurred on 1 Muharram 1 according to the Islamic calendar, which was named “ hijri ” after its epoch. www.saudiaramcoworld.com /issue/200406/flavors.2005-gregorian.and.hijri.calendars.htm

TMSA : Hijri calendar The Islamic calendar (or Hijri calendar) is a purely lunar calendar. It contains 12 months that are based on the motion of the moon, and because 12 synodic months is only 12 x 29.53=354.36 days, the Islamic calendar is consistently shorter than a tropical year, and therefore it shifts with respect to the Christian calendar. The 1st day of the 5th month of C.E. 20874 in the Gregorian calendar will also be (approximately) the 1st day of the 5th month of AH 20874 of the Islamic calendar. www.trentu.ca /msa/html/03-hijri_calendar.htm

Islamic calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Islamic years are also called Hijra years because the first year was the year during which the Hijra occurred—Muhammad's emigration from Mecca to Medina. Because this lunar year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, Muslim holy days, although celebrated on fixed dates in their own calendar, usually shift 11 days earlier each successive solar year, such as a year of the Gregorian calendar. Later years were numbered from the Year of the Elephant, whether for the years of the pre-Islamic lunisolar calendar, the lunisolar calendar used by Muhammad before he forbade the intercalary month, or the first few years of the lunar calendar thus created. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/islamic_calendar

Bangla Months The zero year of the Bangla calendar coincides with the zero of the Islamic Hijri calendar since it was introduced by a Muslim Mongol conqueror of India, Emperor Akbar, descendant of Babar, Tamerlane and Chenghis Khan. Since Akbar had ascended the throne in the year 1556 AD and his new calendar was backdated to that year which was the year 963 in the lunar Hijri era (Islamic calendar). This caused the difference between the Hijri year and the Bangla year. www.geocities.com /raqta24/banglac.htm   (647 words)
