Eid ul Adha
Salam -- why is Dec 31 a possible date for Eid ul adha? My apologies for the ignorance on this matter, but I'm simply confused.


 * Because the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, it has only approx. 354 days instead of 365. That means Eid moves up ten to eleven days every Islamic year. Therefore, since this Eid ul-Adha is January 10, next Eid ul-Adha will occur approx. 354 days later, on December 31. They are two different Eid ul-Adhas in two different Islamic years (1426 AH and 1427 AH, respectively). The Eid ul-Adha for 1428 AH will occur December 20, 2007. joturner 03:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)


 * By the way, I believe that is 355 days later. The year is usually 354 or 355 days long. The date, however, should be December 31. joturner 03:14, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
