The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and months begin when the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. Since the Islamic lunar calendar year is 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year, Rabi' al-Thani migrates throughout the seasons. The estimated start and end dates for Rabi' al-Thani are as follows (all future dates are estimates):
