When does Muharram 1492 AH start?

Muharram 1492 AH starts on February 23, 2069 (Saturday) and lasts 29 days, according to the official Umm al-Qura calendar.

Why does a Hijri month have only 29 or 30 days?

A Hijri month is lunar: it begins with the birth of the crescent and ends at the next one. A lunar cycle takes about 29.5 days, so months alternate between 29 and 30 days.

Why might the first day of the month in my country differ by one day?
