Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Fifth Fascicle

Let us calculate the Hegira solar year which coincides with the
beginning of the lunar year 1404. Since a year begins after the last
day of the previous year, and if the solar year also started on the
16th of July, then the number of solar years would simply be 1403
x 0.97023 = 1361.23. But, since a solar year starts 0.18 years later
than the 16th of July, 0.18 years is subtracted from this, and the
beginning of the Hegira solar year is found to be 0.05 x 12 = 0.6;
first month’s 0.6 x 30 = 18th day of the year 1362.
Let us calculate the lunar year which coincides with the
beginning of the 1362 Hegira solar year: If the lunar calendar had
started on the 20th of September, too, it would be 1361 x 1.0307 =
1402.78, and an 0.18 year excess of that number would be 1402.96
and taking 1402 from it 1402.96 -140 2 = 0.96 and 0.96 x 12 = 11.52;
half of the twelfth month of the year 1403.
Let us calculate the starting dates of the Hegira years which
coincides with the beginning of 1984 A.D. The Hegira solar year
which coincides with the beginning of 1984 A.D. is 1984 - 622 =
1362. The difference between the 20th of September and the 1st
of January is 103 days (0.28 years). We have already found that
the lunar year which coincides with the beginning of the solar
year 1362 is 1402.96. So, the lunar year would become 1402.96 +
0.2 8= 1403.24. That means (0.24 x 12 = 2.88) the twenty-seventh
day of the (0.88 x 30 = 26.4) the third month of the lunar year
1404.
9 – CONVERSION OF
A LUNAR YEAR INTO THE CHRISTIAN YEAR
Let us find the Christian year which coincides with the
beginning of the Hegira lunar year 1404: 1403 x 0,97023 yields
1361.23, and the beginning of that Hegira solar year coincides with
the 16th of July. Hence, 1361.23 + 621.54 = 1982.77, which is (0.24
x 30 = 7.2), i.e. the eighth day of (0.77x12=9.24) the tenth month of
the year 1983 A.D.

OF THE HEGIRA YEAR
The first day of Muharram is the beginning of the Hegira year.
