Kalendar Islam (Hijriah) ialah kalendar lunar murni yang terdiri daripada 12 bulan dalam setahun yang mempunyai 354 or 355 hari. Oleh kerana tahun lunar adalah kira-kira 10 hingga 11 hari lebih pendek daripada tahun solar Gregorian, tarikh Islam berputar ke belakang mengikut musim. Tahun ditandakan dengan H (Hijriah), menandakan penghijrahan bersejarah Nabi Muhammad (SAW) dari Makkah ke Madinah pada tahun 622 M.
