Salamu Alikom, Thanks alot for mentioning for the book, but I couldn't find an electronic version of it on the net, nor in the market. I thought that such an algorethm is very important to the point that it should be somewhere on the net (but i couldn't find that either). Now is it possible to have the algorethm translated on the web (for those who have an access to the book).

Now we are talking about the _hijri_ system our dating system, I think that it is important to relay on something wriiten in arabic that's accessable by everyone (on the web) instead of relying on a latin book that we need to order from a bookshop. Thanks for helpping and being patient :)

Salamu Alikom, I am working on Umm Al Qura algorethm to convert hijri dates to gregorian and vice versa for >>the Arabeyes project. I searched the net for a web site that explains the algorethm but i >>couldn't find any, the links i found were interested in how to tell if the next day is the first day >>of the new month or not (which is not the scope of what i am dealing with). I would really appreciate it anyone can tell me about the algorethm, where to find it on the net >>or a name of a book that explains it. Thanks in advance and have a good day, Walsalamu Alikom.

Dear M Al-Rawi
Regarding the algorethm for the Umm AlQura Calendar
following is a book you can use (the same reference we used)
Astronomical Formulae for Calculation, By Jean Meeus, published by
Willmann-Bell, Inc
Cheers
Zaki
