Hijrah Calendar 1431 H The Hijrah calendar presented below is based on the concept of ‘Conjunction’. Conjunction occurs when the Moon is between the Sun and the Earth and the center of the Sun, the center of Moon and the center of Earth are in “ONE PLANE”. The Conjunction marks the end of the Hijrah month. The next Hijrah month commences on the “next DAY” of the “Conjunction DAY”. For example, if the Conjunction occurred on Thursday, the next month begins on Friday. It is important to note that, for the commencement of the new month the “time of Conjunction” is not the criterion and should not be applied. This is important as the calculation of the time of the day is totally and independently governed by the rotation of the Earth and the consequent apparent position of the sun in relation to a particular spot on Earth. To simplify, an observer on Earth divides his day and sets his clock on the basis of the Sun in relation to his Midnight Meridian. Conjunction dates and times (UT) are tabulated in Nautical Almanacs and websites for the entire year or years in advance. CONJUNCTION ONLY Next
CONJUNCTION ONLY CONJUNCTION & SOLAR ECLIPSE Next
In the calendar below the “Day of Conjunction” is used for the purpose of termination of the current Hijrah month. The Universal Time (UT) of Conjunction is used to calculate the Ground Position (GP) of the moon at the time of Conjunction.Ground Position (GP) of the Moon: The Ground Position (GP) can be defined as the point on the surface of the Earth through which a line joining the center of the Earth and the center of the Moon passes. For every Conjunction, the Ground Position (GP) on the world globe is marked by a Red marker and the exact Ground Position (GP) by Latitude and Longitude is mentioned in the text below the globe in red.The Globe: The purpose of the Globe is to demonstrate that over the 12 months of the lunar (Hijrah) year, Conjunction can appear at any spot and is thus, applicable world wide as there is only one Conjunction in one lunar (Hijrah) month.Moon Phases : The various phases of the Moon along with the Hijrah month dates are just for the purpose of demonstrating the waxing and the waning cycle of the moon in a Hijrah month. It shows a regular pattern which is typical for a 29 day month and also typical for 30 day month at a particular location on the Earth. In this calendar the pattern is for Makkah. Please note, the shape of these phases will not be applicable world wide as each place will have its own pattern. Brother Ali Manikfan has been making observations for the last 40 years from South India and the Maldives Islands and by looking at the Moon on a particular day is able not only to advise the date of that particular Hijrah month but also is able to indicate if that particular month will be a 29 day month or 30 day month.

It will be interesting to note that this phenomenon and this regular phase pattern is only possible for a Hijrah Calendar as this is the only lunar calendar which has remained unchanged since its inception.I would like to offer my sincere gratitude to Brother Ali Manikfan, my teacher for the inspiration and guidance provided through his website ‘Hijrahcalendar.com’. The information, which he has conveyed through his website is unique and eye-opening.Almost by accident we were introduced to the most sought personality in Saudi Arabia and in the astronomy world, that is Dr. FadhlNoor Ahmed. He obtained his Ph. D. in Astronomy from UK and is responsible for setting up the Department of Astronomy in Saudi Arabia. He has many firsts to his credit which include but not limited to, the installation of the first telescope in Saudi Arabia, prepared 1300 to 1429 Hijra Calendar based on conjunction principle, calculation of Prayer times, etc. etc. the list continues. He is responsible for correcting our definition of the conjunction, which is reflected in this edition of 1431H Calendar. I must convey my sincere thanks to Br. Abdullateef who actually introduced Br. Manikfan and the Conjunction concept to me. Last but not the least I must thank Br. Khalid Shaukat for his painstaking efforts on the ‘moonsighting.com’ site. Besides providing unique crescent visibility diagrams, the site also contains much more valuable information. Main Menu
My colleagues Syed Mutaharuddin Haqqani, Hani M. Al Sangedy and Mohamed Zia Ul Haq must be congratulated for their sincere efforts and assistance in the production of this calendar.I will be grateful to the readers and viewers for their comments and corrections of errors/omissions if any.May Allah be kind to us all.WassalamCapt Farhat N Siddiqui Main Menu
