The Guardian has helpfully supplied 10 things to know including why it's ok to refer to it as above! My main question though is, why do they still use the Al Haraj calandar? Surely having everything moving back by 11 days a year is an inconvenience. If they matched the real calandar then Ramadan would be September much more sensible for fasting in daylight hours.

Couldn't agree with you more New Judge, but that's religion for you. It makes you believe in drivel and do plainly ridiculous things !
you don't have to believe in religion to do stupid things...
You are probably correct em but I am unsure what your reply has to do with the this discussion about Ramadam ?
i had already responded with the same link on another thread about Ramadan, i was just making the point you don't have to be Christian, Jew or Muslim to do foolish things. In a meeting i attended recently a young Muslim guy was sitting there suffering in the heat, no water, it was airless and stifling. People do stupid things in the name of religion, or other,
and it's Ramadan, it doesn't as far as i am aware end in m.
Am I the only one who is guilty of a typo em...surely not !
FIGHT !!!!
All people, including Muslims, are entitled to their moment of stupidity. It's just that some like to abuse the privilege.
They're all potty.
Yes, NJ, but they are foreign by blood and brown or black. They don't feel heat or pain like we do!

Anyone who has seen pilgrims climbing on their knees up some steps in Jerusalem must doubt the sanity of some devout Christians.
As I said, they're all potty.
tora made the same mistake, or is that because it fits in with heading.
DT, thing is we see it in so many places, that is a sorry fact of life.
Without reading other posts.

To your main question. By using Hijri calendar (based on moon) everone living everywhere in the world have Ramaza, Eid or other occasions in different seasons or weathers. Unlike Christmas that although nothing to do with religion, is usually associated with snow. Now ever year few countries have christmas in snow and few would never ever because it is their summer in December.
