A Brief Introduction To The Islamic (Hijri) Calendar
The Islamic Calendar, which is based purely on lunar cycles, was first introduced in 638 C.E. by the close
companion of the Prophet (PBUH) and the second Caliph, `Umar ibn Al-KHaTTab (592-644 C.E.) RAA. He did it
in an attempt to rationalize the various, at times conflicting, dating systems used during his time. `Umar
consulted with his advisors on the starting date of the new Muslim chronology. [eng]
