[1] Muslims measure the passage of time using the Islamic (Hijrah) calendar. This calendar has twelve lunar months, the beginnings and endings of which are determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. Years are counted since the Hijrah, which is when the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Madinah (approximately July 622 A.D.).

happy ramadhan to,, minal aidin wal fa’izin…
Ahlan wa sahlan ya Ramadhan.
BTW, you got a couple of things mixed up.
It should be CA (common era) no AC (air conditioner
)
#your CA is right. but “my” AC is also right. AC stands for Anno Christi (latin, year of Christ) or After Christ
And Monday is not the 2nd of Sept, but 1st.
#corrected. thanks.
