- Le calendrier musulman (dit lunaire parce que basé sur l'observation des phases de la lune)
compte 12 mois de 29 ou 30 jours. Il est donc 11 ou 12 jours plus court que le calendrier grégorien qui est
un calendrier solaire.
- Ramadan est un nom de mois musulman comme par exemple Novembre ou Avril dans le calendrier
grégorien.
- Le mois de Ramadan avance chaque année de 11 ou 12 jours par rapport au calendrier occidental.
- Le 1er mois de l'année musulmane est Mouharram comme Janvier dans le calendrier grégorien.
- Le calendrier musulman a commencé le 1er Mouharram de l'an 1 (16 juillet 622 de l'ère chrétienne),
c'est-à-dire, lorsque Mohamed a quitté La Mecque pour Médine (Hégire).
Hégire vient du mot arabe signifiant à peu près : départ, exode, migration...
- Ce calendrier a été adopté dix ans après son exode. On dit donc, par exemple, en 2005, le 1er Ramadan
1426 de l'Hégire (ère musulmane).

- Ramadan is the name of one of the months, as for example, November or April in the Gregorian Calendar.
- Ramadan comes earlier every year by 11 or 12 days, in comparison to the Western calendar.

of the Hegira (Muslim Era).

dates of the Christian calendar above are calculated with the possibility of a discrepancy of one or two days,
more or less.
Two weeks after Ramadan, Muslims seek pardon for their sins. Many Muslims believe that during this night,
God fixes everyone's destiny for the coming year. This night is spent in asking God for his directives and for
pardon. Some fast for the day. Generated by www.PDFonFly.com at 10/14/2009 4:47:31 PM
