There is a manifest wisdom on alternating days and nights, and in the succession of the months and years. It is our responsibility to use day and night to perform good deeds and differentiate ourselves from those who use your time in doing evil until death comes to them. Allah has given us two indicators on the day and night: the day is the sun, while the night is the moon. With the arrival of each new day, life is renewed and every worshiper brings his energy to practice more acts of devotion. This is because Allah has compared the sleep at night with death, and waking with resurrection. Allaah says (what means in English): {He it is Who takes your souls at night [when you sleep] and the returns you awake, and know what you do [during the day]. So until the deadline fixed for your death, then will He inform you of what you did.} [Quran 6:60] is a manifestation of the mercy of Allah to his worshipers that he has made the sun and the moon follow courses exactly determined. Watching the sun people may know the different seasons, and watching the moon people can deduct the beginning and end of each month. Allah has divided the year into 12 months, as the Qur'an says (what means in English): {Verily, the number of months to Allah is twelve, so was it decreed the day created the heavens and the earth, of which four are sacred [Mu h Arram, Rajab, Dhul Dhul Qa'dah and iyyah H]. This is established in the true religion, not against you because obréis [disobeying Allah] ...} [Qur'an 9:36] De the four sacred months, three consecutive Dhul Qa'dah, Dhul H and Mu iyyah Arram h, the fourth is Rajab which is between the months of Jumada Al Ajirah and a'ban Sh. An example of the simplicity of the religion of Allah is that the calculation of the beginning and end of each Islamic month is based on the observation moon. Therefore, any person can easily be informed about each new month regardless of whether read or not. The arrival of a new month is known by the appearance of the crescent moon in the west after sunset, and once the crescent moon appears, a month has ended and a new month begins. Thus, we also know that the day begins at sundown, not midnight, because the first day of the month sunset maraca by the last day of previous month. The Islamic calendar was first introduced during the era of Amir of the Believers, 'Umar ibn Al Ja tt ab, may Allaah be pleased with him, 16 or 17 years after the Hijrah or emigration of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, sought advice from people about when to start the Hijri calendar. Some felt that it should start from the birth of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, while others thought it should begin from the first day the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, started his mission. Another group believed that the schedule should start from the emigration, and a final group argued that it should start from the death of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, agreed with those who wanted the Islamic calendar began with the Hijrah of the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam, due to the fact that this marked the point history when Allah differentiated between truth and falsehood by giving the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, real power and authority, manifested in the form of the first Islamic state. Peers also were asked what month should mark the beginning year. 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab and' Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with them, they chose Mu h Arram because it is a holy month and it follows the month of Dhul H iyyah, the month in which Muslims perform the H ayy or pilgrimage, the last pillar of Islam that Allah has imposed on Muslims. Mu h Arram also follows the month in which the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, he swore loyalty to the Ansar (supporters of Medina) to migrate to Medina, and this oath of loyalty was one of the introductory events emigration. For all these reasons, Mu Arram h was considered the best months to mark the beginning of the Islamic calendar. We must be grateful to Allah for such a simple method of calculation. The Islamic nation must have a distinct and independent identity, derived solely from the essence of Islam. It is the responsibility of the Islamic nation the distinction of other nations in terms of moral values, manners and way of life in general. This nation can not be a subject that tends to blindly imitate others, this kind of blind imitation does not bring any good or avoid any harm. On the contrary, could making the Islamic nation to become weak and dependent on others, which would cause him to forget past glories. This nation will never be reformed except by following the same methodology as the reformed in the past. We have learned that the day begins at sunset, the month begins when the crescent moon is sighted, and that the year begins on the date of emigration the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. This is the method used by the Muslims of the past, the lawyer reported the dates according to this method in their books dealing with different topics, such as the time to pay debts and other similar matters. Allaah Says (what means in English): {And a sign [that demonstrates the power of God] is the night that follows day, and then left in the dark. And the Sun orbits as he was appointed, this is a decree of the Mighty, Wise. And he decreed the moon phases until it [is shrinking and] seems a mansions [then goes into growing again]. Not able to alter their sun course [appearing at night], and so reach the moon, nor the night outstrip the day; all float in an orbit.} [Quran 36:37-40] ;
