The year 2030 will be special for Muslims around the world. Because, the month of Ramadan will take place twice a year.
Just like the Christian calendar, the Hijri calendar has 12 months consisting of Muharam, Safar, Rabiul Awal, Rabiul Akhir, Jumadil Awal, Jumadil Akhir, Rajab, Shaban, Ramadan, Shawwal, Dzulkaidah and Dzulhijah.
Even though they both have 12 months in a year, the Gregorian calendar is standard with 365 days, while the Hijri calendar has 355 days. That is, there is a difference of 10 days or 11 days (compared to a leap year) in a year.
The difference is what causes this fasting month to always be more advanced than in previous years. If this continues, there will be a time when Ramadan comes twice a year.
As quoted from Mashable, Ramadan will take place twice a year in 2030 because the first Ramadan falls at the beginning of the year and the second at the end of the Christian year.
Based on the Hijri calendar calendar 1451-1452, the first Ramadan comes on January 5, 2030, and the second Ramadan comes on December 26, 2030.
Not only Ramadan, Eid Al-Fitr is also present twice a year. However, this event did not occur in 2030, but in the next three years or in 2033.
Investigate a calibaration, Ramadan twice in a year is not the first. In 2000 ago, a similar event had occurred, where Ramadan was also at the beginning and end of the Christian year.
After all, may we all always be given health, especially in carrying out fasting worship in the midst of the current pandemic.
