"The Islamic calendar, Muslim calendar or Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Being a purely lunar calendar, it is not synchronized with the seasons. With an annual drift of 10 or 11 days, the seasonal relation repeats about every 33 Islamic years."

What else can I help you with?
How often does the Islamic calendar synchronize with the solar year?
The term "synchronize" is unclear. The Islamic Calendar has a year of only 354 days, so it can never be the same length as a solar year (usually calculated with the Gregorian Calendar with an average of years length of 365.24 days). However, the date on the Islamic Calendar and on the Gregorian Calendar will correlate every 34 Islamic Calendar Years which correspond to 33 Gregorian Calendar Years.
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).

The year 2000 A.D in the Christian calendar is which year in the Muslim?
The year 2000 A.D. in the Christian calendar corresponds to the year 1420-1421 in the Islamic calendar (Hijri). The Islamic calendar is lunar and has about 354 days in a year, which causes it to shift approximately 11 days earlier each year compared to the solar Gregorian calendar. Therefore, to convert from the Gregorian to the Hijri calendar, one can use various conversion methods or tools specifically designed for this purpose.

How long is a year on the moon?
Today Friday 13, 2008 the Islamic date is Safar 5, 1429. The Islamic calendar or Muslim calendar, also called the Hijri calendar is used to date events in many predominantly Muslim countries, and used by Muslims everywhere to determine the proper day on which to celebrate Islamic holy days. It is a lunar calendar having 12 lunar months in a year of about 354 days. Because this lunar year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, Islamic holy days, although celebrated on fixed dates in their own calendar, usually shift 11 days earlier each successive solar year, such as a year of the Gregorian calendar. Islamic years are also called Hijra years because the first year was the year during which the Hijra occurred-holy Prophet Muhammad's emigration from Makkah to Madinah. Thus each numbered year is designated either H or AH, the latter being the initials of the Latin anno Hegirae (in the year of the Hijra). The current Islamic Year is 1429 AH. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_calendar http://www.islamicity.com/
