Part 5/14:
The analysis delves into the history of the Islamic calendar's development. It highlights that the current lunar-based Hijri calendar was established about six to seven years after Prophet Muhammad’s passing by Umar ibn al-Khattab, a figure with a noted opposition to Islam before his conversion.
Important points include:
Umar's opposition to Muhammad and his persecution efforts.
The creation of the lunar calendar, which is approximately 10-11 days shorter than the solar year, causing Ramadan and other Islamic months to drift earlier each year.
The possibility that the calendar was deliberately altered or manipulated, potentially to serve political or religious agendas.
