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.
