The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. Every month starts on the day of the new moon. A cycle of moon phases lasts just over 29½ days, so the calendar alternates between 29-day months and 30-days months. Odd-numbered months have 30 days each, and even-numbered months have 29 days each. Since the moon phase cycle is a little longer than 29½ days, every few years the 12th month has 30 days.

How does the Islamic calendar compare to the Georgian calendar?

The Islamic calendar month only has 28 days, where as the Georgian calendar month varies between 28 and 31 days (depending on the month). This means that the Islamic calendar is shorter than the Georgian calendar by approximately 11 days every year. For this reason Islamic religious evens such as the Holy month of Ramadan, migrate forward each year by about 11 days. Christian religious events tend to remain on the same day of the Georgian calendar each year (or within a few days).
