Printed Ephemera — 1993
Calendar
Spiral bound calendar for the Islamic year 1413/14 and the Gregorian year 1993. It was issued by the Muslim Association of Nigeria, a charity that provides support services for ethnic minorities in the Southwark area. They produced this calendar to raise money to buy a base for their activities. Each page is printed with two monthly calendars, a timetable of prayer times for each months and quotations from the Holy Quran. The Islamic year is based on a lunar calendar with 12 lunar months. It is used by Muslims to determine the dates for celebrating Islamic holy days and festivals.
