Abstract

The purpose of this brief article is to give some background on the Muslim calendar, describe some of the problems associated with that calendar, and give some sense of how it impacts contemporary Muslim worship in North America. There have been many problems with the Islamic calendar from its beginnings. In this article, I will focus mainly on the problem of intercalation.
