The Ramadan of this year (1442 AH) according to the Gregorian date is similar to the entry of Ramadan in 1408 AH (1988), 34 years ago. The scene will be repeated in 1475 AH, and the reason for that is that the Hijri year is shorter than the Gregorian calendar by an average of 11 days, meaning that every 3 years Ramadan advances approximately one month compared to the Gregorian calendar months. | Haramain Archive
