About Exit
 Hijrah Calendar 1430 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 centers of the Sun, Moon
and Earth are in one straight line. 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
Meridian. Conjunction dates and times (UT) are tabulated in Nautical Almanacs and
websites for the entire year or years in advance.
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.

Next
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
map is marked by a green arrow and the exact Ground Position (GP) by Latitude and
Longitude is mentioned in the text below the map in red.
If at the time of Conjunction, an observer is situated at the Ground Position (GP) of the
Moon he is in line with the center of the Earth and the center of the Moon and the center
of the Sun, or in other words the Sun and the Moon are right over his head. In case the
observer looks at the Sun through a coloured shade he may be able to spot the Moon in
the fore front. This is because the Earth is out side the Umbra. At any particular
Conjunction when the Earth is within the Umbra i.e. at the time of Solar Eclipse, the
observer will be at the darkest spot of the Eclipse.

Next
The Map: The purpose of the map 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 a 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.

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 on 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.

Next
I must convey my sincere thanks to Br. Abdullateef who actually introduced Br. Manikfan
and the Conjunction concept to me. I wish I had met Br. Abdullateef much earlier.

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.

My colleagues Syed Mutaharuddin Haqqani, Hani 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.

Wassalam
