thread_title:  Here's a question... 

message: The main article says "all future dates are estimates and depend on sightings of the new moon"
However, this Saudi site suggests that this was changed in 1999, and then modified again in 2003, to a truly astronomical definition that doesn't depend on visibility any more:
Islamic Crescents Observation Project
I'm not an expert, so I don't want to edit the page in case the website I've linked to is wrong. Anyone know the definitive answer?

thread_title:  Query about definition 

message: This website is unreliable as the info which it imparts is not 100% correct, e.g. this website lists Islamic New Year as a holiday in India actually the holiday in India which is known as Muharram is for Day of Ashura i.e. 10th of Muharram & not for 1st of Muharram. There is similar case for many other countries. IMO we should refer official website of countries for public holidays.--Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haidertcs 11:06, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The website does not gives detail for the holidays, it just gives the date e.g. for Bangaladesh it gives date 'Dec 16' and no detail, now Dec 16 this year i.e. 2010 is not start of 1432 AH (satrt of 1432 AH falls falls on 7 Dec 2010) but is Day of Ashura which actually is a public holiday all across South Asia (i.e. Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, etc) and reffered to as Muharram in general and official termology (that may be point leading to confusion but website gives no such info). I have already removed Bangladesh from the list will be removing all other countries for which there is no info. --Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haidertcs 06:15, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: After investigation I found out that the case for Bngaldesh is true for all the items in the list "Countries observing Islamic New Year", and so I have removed them all and commented the empty section. In future plz add item to list only when you have a Reliable Source e.g. Govt. website. --Sayed Mohammad Faiz Haidertcs 06:47, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

message: "The first Islamic year begins in 622 AD with the emigration of Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina, known as the Hijra."
The article on Hegira states that "the Hijrah is also often identified erroneously with the start of the Islamic calendar, which was set to Julian 16 July 622." The Hijra itself occurred Thursday 13 May — Friday 28 May 622. 38.104.98.238 (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

message: The IP editor has attempted to add to this article a block of material that a clear consensus has rejected for inclusion in the article Islamic calendar. Per WP:Bold, revert, discuss, I have reverted its addition to this article pending a discussion of its merits. For context, see talk:Islamic calendar#Delete whole section "Converting Hijri to Gregorian date or vice versa". --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:41, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
