The Islamic calendar is a 12 month lunar calendar of 354 or 355 days. So it moves when compared to a Gregorian calendar ten or eleven days a year.

The current Year of the Hijra is 1431. It began on December 18th, 2009 and will end on December 6th, 2010.

Fitting, of course, since they worshiped the Moon God, known as Al-Allah about 100 years before the birth of Mohamed.
