In the year 2039, standing at Arafah will be twice, and Muslims will have 3 holidays

Weather of Arabia - The pilgrims of the Sacred House of God will stand in the year 2039 twice in Arafah, and Muslims around the world will witness 3 holidays in one year. As the Hajj season will be repeated twice this year, the first time will be in the first ten days of January, and the second time will be in the last ten days of December of the same year.

Accordingly, we will witness in the year 2039 three feasts, the first feast is Eid al-Adha on January 6, the second feast is Eid al-Fitr on October 19, 2039, and the third feast is Eid al-Adha again and it will be on December 26.

The scientific explanation for this strange event is that the Hijri year is shorter than the Gregorian one by 10, 11 or 12 days, as follows:

• 10 days if the Hijri year is a leap year of 355 days and the Gregorian year is of 365 days.
• 11 days if the Hijri and Gregorian calendars are simple or leap days
• 12 days if the Islamic year is 354 days long and the Gregorian year is a leap year of 366 days.

Thus, the Hijri year advances every year by an average of 11 days relative to the Gregorian year, which means that every 3 years advances one month, and since the Gregorian year is longer than the Hijri year; It is possible for the pilgrimage to come twice during one Gregorian year and to witness three feasts in one Gregorian year.

In the future: correspond to the Gregorian and Hijri years in 20874 AH

In the future, the relationship between the Gregorian and Hijri calendars will witness important developments due to the different length of the year in each. According to future calculations, there will be agreement between the Gregorian and Hijri years in the year 20841 AH. The first day of Muharram in that year will be the 28th of December in the Gregorian year 20841 AD.

After that, the Hijri calendar will overtake the Gregorian calendar in the year 20874 AH, and the two systems (Hijri and Gregorian) will continue to be compatible for 33 years with one mathematical number, after which the Hijri year will always precede the Gregorian year.

Interestingly, the Gregorian and Hijri years will coincide completely on Tuesday, the first of May in the year 20874 AH, as the year, month and day will coincide in each of the two calendars. This distinguished event reminds us of glorifying God's power in creating the universe, and we hope that He will protect us from the torment of the Fire.

(And they reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth. Our Lord, You did not create this in vain. Glory be to You. Save us from the torment of the Fire).
