New Islamic Year 1431 H

The lunar Islamic calendar does not align with the Gregorian calendar. Next week, the Islamic calendar will turn from year 1430 to year 1431 H.

Muslims measure the passage of time using the Islamic (Hijrah) calendar. This calendar has twelve lunar months, the beginnings and endings of which are determined by the sighting of the crescent moon. Years are counted since the Hijrah, which is when the Prophet Muhammad migrated from Mecca to Madinah (approximately July 622 A.D.).

Berita sentimen tentang perbelakuan Qanun Syariat Islam bagi non-muslim baru saja kita hadapi (baca disini ), yang jelas-jelas sang wartawan telah bermain imajinas untuk membuat Aceh terasa kontra di mata luar. Kini "keseksian" Aceh akan (kembali) diperdebat lagi. Apa pasal? Ajang Miss Indonesia 2014 sudah di depan mata, kontestan asal Aceh kali ini juga ikut lagi dalam ajang tersebut yang tak lain mantan finalis Puteri Indonesia (PI) 2008, yakni Shinta Alvionita AS.
