Hello Michael,
thanks for your answer. I intend, you are partly right. As far as I know, it
is distinguished between a civilian use and a religious use. For civilian
use, you can take a fix lunar calendar with 354 days and 12 months
alternating beetween 30 and 29 days. Because there is software on the market
to translate Gregorian dates to dates in the Islamic Calendar, it should be
possible to write an accurate calendar object if you know the necessary
mathematic rules.
