God lord DOM, how many times have I mentioned this? there is two types of Hijri calenders. The start date for both is the migration of the Prophet (pbuh) from Macca to Medina. First one is based on the LUNAR calender هجری قمری, what Arabs are using, each lunar year is about 10 days shorter than a solar year. That is why for example Ramazan move roughly 10 days back each year. The second is based on the SOLAR cycles هجری شمسی, same months as Zodiac calender, used by pretty much all Non-Arabs, (Persians, Afghans, Tajiks, Kurds, Armenians, Azeri, you get the idea). The Solar or Shamsi year starts on the first days of Spring, when the new solar cycle begins. In Afghanistan before the reign of Amir Amanullah they were using the Lunar calender, when he become the King they switched and went back to Solar calender which was being used in Pre-Islamic times. In our calenders right now in each day box there are 3 dates, main one for the Solar day, smaller for Lunar and another small one for Julain date. Hope this helps you out, and stops your colorfull yet useless comments, to whatever I say.
