Depending upon the visibility of moon each month can have 29 to 30 days. Islamic days of week start at sunset like those in the Hebrew and Bahá'í calendars. Friday in most of the Islamic countries is considered the day of rest. Muslims gather on this day and offer their Jummah Prayer. In Muslim countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia Friday and Saturday are considered as official weekends. A few countries including Pakistan have chosen Saturday and Sunday as their official weekends keeping Friday as a working day. The tabular Islamic calendar is also an Islamic calendar which is not based upon astronomical calculation rather it is a rule-based variation Islamic calendar. It consists of 11 leap years of 355 days and 19 years of 354 days.
