From the Hijra date subtract the next greatest at the head of the first Table, and in that column find the Dominical letter corresponding to the remainder. In the second Table, with the Dominical letter opposite the given month, run down to the week-days, and on the left will be found the dates and vice versa.

Example. For Ramaḍan, A.H. 1310. The nearest year above is 1290, difference 20; in the same column with 1290, and in line with 20, is F. In line with Ramaḍan and the column F we find Sunday 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th, etc.

In the 11 years marked with an asterisk the month Zîl-ka'dat has 30 days; in all others 29. Thus AH. 1300 (1290 + 16) had 355 days, the 30th of Zîl-ka'dat being Sunday.
