Islamic Months Wheel Activity
Muslims around the world follow the Islamic Calendar which is also known as the Hijri calendar and Lunar calendar.
The Islamic calendar consists of 12 months and will either be 29 or 30 days depending when the moon is sighted.
It is important for Muslims to be familiar with the Islamic calendar and know what month and which date we are on so that we do not miss any important dates and events.
Activity
In today’s activity, we will be making an Islamic months wheel which will help us learn the months and know what to look forward to in each month.
