9 – CONVERSION OF
A LUNAR YEAR INTO ANNO DOMINI
Let us find the anno domini which coincides with the beginning
of the Hegira lunar year 1404; 1403 x 0,97023 = 1361.23 would
become the Hegira solar year which starts on the 16th of July. Then
1361.23 + 621.54 = 1982.77 would be (0.24 x 30 = 7.2) the eighth
day of (0.77x12=9.24) the tenth month of the year 1983 A.D.
10 – FINDING OUT THE FIRST DAY OF THE
HEGIRA YEAR
The first day of Muharram is the beginning of the Hegira year.
To find out what day it is (it was, it will be), the concerned year is
multiplied by five. The number obtained is divided by eight. The
remainder shows the number of days from Thursday. For example,
the first of Muharram, 1357:
Five times 1357 is 6785. When this is divided by eight the
remainder is one. The first day of Muharram is Thursday. Please
see the fourth fascicle of Endles Bliss.

One minus the number of the year is multiplied by 4.367. The
figure assigned to the month concerned is added to the unit figure
of the number obtained. When the total is divided by seven, the
remainder shows the number of days from Friday.
The figures assigned to the twelve Arabic months are relatively
the first letters of the twelve capitalized words in the following
minemonic couplet:
Hilmi, Be not Drifted by Hopeless Zeal of Earth!
Jibing Damsel Was to the Zealous its Beauty’s Joy.
The succession of the twelve capital letters in the couplet is the
same as the succession of the twelve Arabic months beginning with
Muharram. Each letter is the assigned number of the month
occupying the same position in the series of twelve.
The letters in the words “Ebjed hewwez hutty” are called Hurûfi-jummal
and represent the following:
E = 1, b = 2, j = 3, d = 4, he = 5
w = 6, z = 7, hu = 8, t = 9, y = 10.
Accordingly, the first letters of the capitalized words in the
