In order to define which one will be 29 days and which one 30, the moon phases are considered.īut the real Lunar month is exactly 44 minutes and 3 seconds longer than 29,5 days, so that makes each year of 354 days 8 hours 48 minutes 36 seconds. Therefore, six of the months are considered 29 days, and the other six 30 days, alternated of course. Each of these months are about 29,5 days long and thus one year is completed with 354 days. ![]() In the Islamic calendar there are 12 months: Muharram (Muharrem in Turkish), Safar (Sefer), Rabi' al-awwal (Rabiyülevvel), Rabi' al-thani (Rabiyülahir), Jumada al-awwal (Cemaziyülevvel), Jumada al-thani (Cemaziyülahir), Rajab (Recep), Sha'aban (Şaban), Ramadan ( Ramazan), Shawwal (Şevval), Dhu al-Qi'dah (Zilkaade), Dhu al-Hijjah (Zilhicce).
