As it is the Islamic New Year 1441 AH, we will explore the history of the Islamic Calendar and then look in detail at some of the key dates in each of the 12 months such as Ramadan, Muharram, and Dhulhijjah.  We will also provide a balanced analysis of controversial issues such as the Mawlid and the significance of the night of 15th Sha’ban. We will also look at the importance of Friday and things we can do on a daily basis to enhance our spiritual development.
