Islamic Calendar, which is also called as Hijri calendar or Muslim calendar, is basically a form of lunar calendar. The depiction of the months and dates of the Islamic calendar relies upon the positioning and movement of Moon. A total of 12 months constitute the Islamic calendar. However, Islamic calendar is eleven days shorter than the solar calendar because of its reliance over motion of Moon, which makes a year of around 354 days (12 months X 29.53 days).
