The Islamic calendar, or Hijra, is a lunar calendar only. No attempt is ever made to keep the calendar in sync with the solar year. As a result, each year begins about 11 days earlier on the Gregorian calendar than the year before. In 2012 and 2013, Ramadan falls in July and August. In 2014, 2015 and 2016 it falls in June and July. In 2017, 2018 and 2019 it falls in May and June.

Although the Gregorian calendar has "months", it is not in any way governed by the phases of the moon. It is strictly a solar calendar, so its emphasis is to remain in sync with the solstices and equinoxes, the characteristics of the Earth's orbit of the sun. Only lunar calendars, like the Muslim calendar, and lunisolar calendars, like the Jewish calendar, are based on the phases of the moon, with each month beginning at the time of the new moon.

The Jewish calendar is based on both the moon and the sun. A month can have 29 or 30 days (to start each month with a new moon), and there can be 12 or 13 months to a year. In every 19 years, 12 of the 19 years have 12 months, while seven have 13 months, thus keeping in line with the solar calendar and making every 19 years on a Jewish calendar exactly equal to 19 years on the Gregorian calendar.
