The Muslim calendar, also known as the Islamic or Hijri calendar, is based on the lunar cycle and has 12 months in a year of 354 or 355 days. It is primarily used for religious purposes. The Gregorian calendar, which is the most widely used calendar in the world, is a solar calendar with 12 months in a year of 365 or 366 days. It is a standard calendar for civil purposes.
The religious calendar that is commonly used to keep track of religious days varies depending on the specific religion. For example, the Jewish calendar is used to determine religious days in Judaism, while the Islamic calendar is used in Islam. These calendars are based on lunar cycles and differ from the Gregorian calendar used in everyday life.
The Catholic Church, i.e. Pope Gregory, instituted the Gregorian Calendar. However, it is now the standard calendar that is recognised by nearly everyone, regardless of religion. I.e., today's date in the Gregorian Calendar is 12 July 2012.
The plural of Muslim is Muslims.

In Israel, both the Gregorian and the Hebrew (Jewish) calendars are officially used.

Most calendars are in some way based on either the solar (Sun) or the lunar (Moon) cycle; some are based on both. Of the commonly used calendars:* The Gregorian calendar - the most widely used calendar worldwide - is based on the Sun. That is, the length of the year is based on the Sun; but the start of the year and the months is not related to any particular astronomical event.* The Jewish calendar is based on both the Moon and the Sun. As far as I know, it's the only widely used calendar that is based on BOTH. Some years have 12 months, others have 13 months.* The Muslim calendar is based on the Moon. A muslim year is about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian (solar) year.* Many other calendars are based on the Sun.
