A solar eclipse on Monday will coincide with the birth of the new crescent moon of Rabi’ al-Thani (the fourth month of the Islamic year) for the year 1444 AH.
The Hijri Calendar is a lunar one, meaning that months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted.
And since this type of calendars is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Rabi’ At-thani and all Hijri months migrate throughout the seasons.
May Allah bless all your days and months.
