Islamic Calendar 2013 and
2012
Islamic festivals are the days celebrated
by Muslims. Here we have provided the dates
of the Islamic religious holidays for
calendar year 2013. Some dates may vary
slightly as they are determined by the lunar
calendar.
Islam was founded in the 7th century by
Prophet Muhammad. Today this is the second
largest religion in the world with more than
1.2 billion followers. The Quran is the
sacred text of Islam. The Arabic word
“Islam” means submission. Muslims believe
that Prophet Muhammad is the final messenger
from God. The goal of a Muslim’s life is to
live in a way to please Allah (The God) so
that one may gain enlightenment.
The Five Pillars of Islam are:
- SHAHADAH.: Faith - “There is no god except Allah, Muhammad is the
messenger of Allah”.
- SALAH: Prayer - Praying five times a day.
- ZAKAH: Donate - Each year, Muslims are supposed to donate a fixed
proportion of their savings for good deeds.
- SAWM: Fasting - Fasting during the month of Ramadan.
- HAJJ: Pilgrimage - Making a pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in the
lifetime of a Muslim, if it is affordable.
