The Islamic Hijra calendar is completely lunar, and the number of days in the final month fluctuates depending on whether it is a leap year (in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 26th and 29th years of a 30 year cycle).  

Islamic dates begin at sunset (a time which moves daily and is not the same for every location on Earth), instead of at midnight (a "fixed" time, based on defined time zones) as in the Gregorian calendar.  The calendar below focuses on the probable crescent moon sightings in North America, and it references the Gregorian date for the following morning (not the date of the sunset), so it is off by several hours.  If you need more accuracy, check with the Islamic religious leaders in your country... as the dates are determined by when they actually see the new moon.

Also, there are not 365 and 1/4 days in the year; there are 354 and 11/30 days.  There are thus going to be about 11 days "missing" every year from any conversion of the Islamic calendar to the Gregorian calendar.  We have begun the week here with Sunday, but in most Islamic countries Friday is the day of rest.
