ISLAMIC MONTHS & THEIR WAZAIFS
Islamic calendar or Muslim calendar also called the
Hijri calendar is the calendar used to date events
in many predominantly Muslim countries, and used by
Muslims everywhere to determine the proper day on
which to celebrate Islamic holy days or other
Islamic Occasions. Islamic calendar or Muslim
calendar is based on the Glorious Quran and its
proper observance is a sacred duty for Muslims.
Four months are considered haram or sacred;
Muharram, Rajab, Dhu al-Qi'dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah.
Of all the months in the Islamic calendar, Ramadan
is the most venerated. Muslims are required to
abstain from eating, drinking any liquid, and sexual
intercourse during the daylight hours of this month.

Of
all the months in the Islamic calendar, Ramadan is
the most sacred, during the daytime of which no
Muslim may eat food or drink liquid, except for
those who are ill or traveling, who must make up the
days missed later. Daytime begins at dawn,
traditionally when a white thread can be
distinguished from a black thread, but now often
equated with astronomical dawn, which occurs when
the center of the sun is 18° below the eastern
geometric horizon. It ends at sunset, when the
entire disk of the sun has gone below the actual
western horizon, even if substantially elevated
above the ideal horizon by mountains.
