Understanding the Shia Islamic Calendar
The Shia Islamic calendar is based on the Hijri lunar calendar, established from the Prophet Muhammad's migration (Hijra) from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. For Shia Muslims, this calendar marks not only the standard Islamic observances but also the births, martyrdoms, and significant events related to the Ahlul Bayt (the Prophet's household) and the Twelve Imams.
