The upcoming Hijri new year marking the start of the Muslim lunar calendar will fall during the second week of August.
Running for 354 or 355 days, it is approximately 11 days shorter than the solar, Gregorian calendar.
The year has 12 months beginning with Muharram, and ending with Dhul al-Hijjah. Each month starts with the sighting of the new moon.
