INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS

The Islamic calendar, Muslim calendar or Hijri calendar AH is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Being a purely lunar calendar, it is not synchronized with the seasons. With an annual drift of 10 or 11 days, the seasonal relation repeats about every 33 Islamic years every 32 solar years.
It is used to date events in many Muslim countries concurrently with the Gregorian calendar, and used by Muslims everywhere to determine the proper days on which to observe the annual fast), to attend Hajj, and to celebrate other Islamic holidays and festivals.
The first year was the Islamic year beginning in AD 622 during which the emigration of Muhammad from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijra, occurred. Each numbered year is designated either H for Hijra or AH for the Latin anno Hegirae in the year of the Hijra hence, Muslims typically call their calendar the Hijri calendar.
The current Islamic year is 1434 AH. In the Gregorian calendar 1434 AH runs from approximately 14 November 2012 to 4 November 2013 evening.

MONTHS: Four of the twelve Hijri months are considered sacred, although there is disagreement over the designated months, such as between proponents for the sequences {7,11,12,1} vs. {12,1,2,3}.The twelve Hijri months are named as follows in Arabic: * Muḥarram — المحرّم, "forbidden" — so called because it was unlawful (haram) to fight during this month. Muharram includes the Day of Ashura. * Ṣafar — صفر, "void" — supposedly named because pagan Arabs looted during this month and left the houses empty. * Rabīʿ I (Rabīʿ al-Awwal) — ربيع الأوّل, "the first spring". * Rabīʿ II (Rabīʿ ath-Thānī or Rabīʿ al-Ākhir) — ربيع الثاني or ربيع الآخر, "the second (or last) spring". * Jumādā I (Jumādā al-Ūlā) — جمادى الأولى, "the first month

    “You had two days for celebrating joy before Islam, and glorious Allah has replaced them for you by which is better, Eid Al-Adha and Eid Al-Fitr,” prophet Mohammed said, after he asked the people of Madeenah why were they celebrating two special days before Islam. From his words, we know that they are the only holidays for Muslims, and how much important are they. Eid means a festival and a holiday in Arabic language. Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha are two religious holidays. They fall after two great pillars of Islam, Fasting and Hajj. Muslims are awarded by these two holidays for their success in performing the fasting and Hajj. These two holidays are pretty similar in providing the happiness and the enjoyment for people, however, they are different in two points: the main occasion and major activities during these holidays.…
