Quote from PDF:Calendars are basically of two types: lunar or non-lunar. Lunar calendars have months based on the cycle of the phases of the moon (the synodic month, ca. 29.53 days). Twelve lunar months will total an average of about 354 days and are thus roughly 11 days shorter than the true solar (tropical or sidereal) year of 365.2422 days. Most of the nations of the ancient world used lunisolar calendars, where the difference between the lunar and the solar year is compensated by periodically intercalating a thirteenth month. Non-lunar calendars are based on notional "months" with a fixed number of days and make no attempt to keep pace with the phases of the moon. | Quote from PDF:Calendars are basically of two types: lunar or non-lunar.

:We cant accuse Muhammad in the Scientific Errors in Qur'an article. The calendar clearly has some tiff. But it is a case of lack of explanation which Ax had said is not a scientific error. So if it is not meant for that article (decide), I have another place in the making [[WikiIslam:Sandbox/Logical Errors and Other Issues in the Qur'an]]. I think you should insert your point, with the verse. [[User:Saggy|Saggy]] ([[User talk:Saggy|talk]]) 07:34, 25 August 2014 (PDT) | |||
