-
Since the Hijri year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, it will overtake it in the future. Both Calendars will coincide on the year 20874: The first of May the Gregorian fifth month of 20874 AD will be approximately the first of Jamada I the Hijri fifth month of 20874 HA. I wonder how it will be like in that day!!
