About the occasions of 1405 and 1406
Occasions on this page fall into two groups: fixed solar observances such as Nowruz, and lunar occasions that shift every year in the Solar Hijri calendar (Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Ghadir, Muharram and Safar observances). For every occasion the weekday and the Gregorian equivalent are shown. The list uses the same official-calendar data as this site’s main calendar, where holidays are also marked on the days.
