What calendar is used by Muslims?
☪️📆The Hijri calendar or the Muslim/Islamic calendar is used by Muslims around the world to determine the dates of religious events and observances.
🌕Its time reckoning is tied to the Moon phases. Each month lasts for a full lunation, the time span from one New Moon to the next.
📌It has 12 months with 29 or 30 days. The months of Rajab, Dhū al-Qa‘dah, Dhu al-Ḥijjah, and Muḥarram are considered sacred.
📌This calendar is completely detached from astronomical seasons. So, an Islamic year is about 11 days shorter of the solar year and for practical reasons most Muslim countries officially use the Gregorian calendar.
🕛Islamic time reckoning begins in 622 CE when the Muslim prophet Muhammad migrated to Medina. This event is referred to as Hegira or Hijrah.
ℹ️Since the Islamic calendar years are shorter than Gregorian years and the current year number is lower, the year numbers of the two calendar systems will coincide on May 1, 20874 CE/AH.

What is Origami?
Origami art is the traditional Japanese craft of folding a sheet of paper into objects and figures. Ori translates as “folded” and kami means “paper”.
Paper was introduced to Japan in the 6th century. At that time, the practice of paper folding emerged as a ceremonial Shinto ritual. It was not until Japan's Edo Period (1603 – 1868) that origami also became a leisurely activity and an art form.
Any paper, of any size, can be used for making origami. The origami sheets are typically prepackaged and sold in 6- or 7-inch (15.5- or 17.8-cm) squares. As a rule, each sheet is colored or decoratively patterned on one side and solid white on the other. Sometimes, this contrast is critical to a folded figure’s design.
Of the thousands of recorded sculptural art forms made by folding paper, as much as 95% of them start as a perfect square.
The iconic figure of origami paper art is the bird, and the undisputed masterpiece is the flying crane.

In 1889, May 1 was designated May Day, a day in support of workers, by an international federation of socialist groups and trade unions in commemoration of the Haymarket Affair, a violent confrontation that took place on May 4, 1886, in Chicago, Illinois.
