A Unique Method to Prepare a Lunar Calendar

Note:

This article was written and presented to a meeting of a moon-sighting committee in year 1426 AH corresponding to 2005 AD. The table is shown of that year.

Now we are in year 1435 AH/2014 AD and because this year is a replica of years: 1225, 1015, 805, 595, 385, 175, let us take the table of year 175 AH/791 & 792 AD which is to be reflected in this year 1435 AH.

Year 175                                                          Table Four                      Year 1435

Month	No. of days	Day begins	AD Date	Month	No. of days	Day begins	AD Date
Muharram	29	Tuesday	14.5.791	Muharram	29	Tuesday	5.11.2013
Safar	30	Wednesday	12.6	Safar	30	Wednesday	4.12
Rabee I	29	Friday	12.7	Rabee I	29	Friday	3.1.2014
Rabee II	30	Saturday	10.8	Rabee II	30	Saturday	1.2

Ramadan	30	Sunday	5.1.792	Ramadan	30	Sunday	29.6
Shawwal	29	Tuesday	4.2	Shawwal	29	Tuesday	29.7
Dhul Qeda	30	Wednesday	4.3	Dhul Qeda	30	Wednesday	27.8
Dhul Hijja	29	Friday	3.4	Dhul Hijja	29	Friday	26.9

So, Ramadan begins on Sunday 29^th June 2014. Because it is supposed to have 30 days, Eid would fall on Tuesday 29^th July 2014.
