Alhamdulillah here it is … the Beautiful Names Of Allah

The Islamic Calendar

The Islamic calendar (or Hijri calendar) is a lunar calendar based on the positions of the moon.

  • In every year there are 12 months.
  • In each month there are either 29 or 30 days.
  • Therefore each year has either 354 or 355 days.
  • Each new year falls 10 or 11 days earlier (annual drift) according to the 365 day solar calendar.
  • A month begins by the sighting of the new moon (i.e. first visible crescent).
  • The western convention in designating Islamic dates is by the abbreviation AH, which stands for the Latin anno hegirae, or “Year of the Hijrah“.
  • The 12 months of the Islamic calendar are as follows:
# Name of Month Arabic Pronunciation
1 Muharram
2 Safar
3 Rabi’ al-Awwal (Rabi’ I)
4 Rabi’ al-Thani (Rabi’ II, Rabi’ al-Akhir)
5 Jumada al-Ula (Jumada I, Jumada al-Awwal)
6 Jumada al-Thani (Jumada II, Jumada al-Akhira)
7 Rajab
8 Sha’ban
9 Ramadan
10 Shawwal
11 Dhul-Qa’dah
12 Dhul-Hijjah

Prostration of Recitation (Supplication)

Having posted a “List of Prostration Places in the Qur’an” last week, this week thought I would post a supplication for prostrating due to recitation of the Qur’an.

Prostration of Recitation

List of Prostration Places in the Qur’an

There are 14 (+1) places in the Qur’an where it is good practice to prostrate. I have been wanting to put together a concise list of these for quite a while. Finally got a chance, so here it is,

# Name of Surah Surah # Verse #
1 Al-A’raaf (The Heights) 7 206
2 Ar-Ra’d (The Thunder) 13 15
3 An-Nahl (The Bee) 16 50
4 Al-Israa (The Night Journey) 17 109
5 Maryam (Mary) 19 58
6 Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage) 22 18
7* Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage) 22 77
8 Al-Furqaan (The Criterion) 25 60
9 An-Naml (The Ant) 27 26
10 As-Sajda (The Prostration) 32 15
11 Saad (The letter Saad) 38 24
12 Fussilat (Explained in detail) 41 38
13 An-Najm (The Star) 53 62
14 Al-Inshiqaaq (The Splitting Open) 84 21
15 Al-Alaq (The Clot) 96 19

Note: * In all, fourteen (14) places of prostration are agreed upon by all Muslim religious scholars and Ulamā, while Imām Shāfi’ī suggests prostration at this place (22:77).
